[David Myers]

Algerian flyweight. Born 1935. Fought from 1955 to 1966. Record: 22-18-5 (1).

Marchand started off like a world afire, winning his first twenty fights. Then he moved up to world-class competition. Frankie Jones outpointed him in Scotland. He came back to battle Robert Pollazon to a draw. Marchand then lost his next four bouts--to Mimoun ben Ali, Jean Guerard (twice), and Pierre Rossi. He won only twice more in his career.
