Boxing does not have much of a following outside of Quebec and Lemieux is French which will not help gain him a following in English Canada.

This is fact or speculation? From what I've read the guy has a pretty good following there nationwide already. Not superstar level, but still good.

not true. all over canada good athletes no matter from where provicne get big support. canadian or canadienne english or francais no matter what. canadians are canadians and to not let politics involved. much a lot of everyone in olympics team canada get support many are quebecois many are not but all get love no matter what. they bring pride to canadians. their heart is red an dwhite. lemieux will make many canadians proud if he wins.

He actually is fluent in French, Armenian, English, and Arabic. He is half Armenian (his mother side) and that's why he gets a lot of support from Armenian community as well. David Lemiuex: "I was brought up Armenian because when i was born my step dad is also Armenian with the last name of Melekian so all my life I spent with Armenian tradition but I am half Quebecois because of my real dad"

At times, he even wears a t-shirt with "the Armenian Coat of Arms" on his left shoulder

That's all great but.....

Lemieux is too heavy at the 30 day weigh in for the biggest fight of his career to go against a very strong guy in GGG. Lemieux will fade when the pressure is put on him becuase of this not to mention he'll spend too much time losing weight instead of sharpening his tools.

I was thinking about that too. I don't like that. I hope he's 100% come fight night.
