    News just in says Carl Web will turn his hand to boxing after footy.

    State champ in th AM's.....he should do very well.

    I think he should give the aussie scene a shake up...shame it wont be for a few years.

    I think he still has 3 or 4 years in the NRL as he is only 28 now.

    Shame as it would be good to throw him into the aussie boxing mix right now....or at least in 1 year after 4 fights.

    Not sure he would have the right work ethic to make a good go of it.

    Yeah perfect, props are trained specifically to work their arses off for 20 mins and then get a break. They the shock troops of league.

    Im sure Webb would smash a few guys early and he probably didnt have a problem with the 4 round distance like in the ams.

    But its that next step that takes him to the later rounds that might make the difference.

    Webbs got better credentials to make it in boxing than sol or hoppa did, I'd have to say he probably would make it on todays Oz heavyweight scene. Whats happened to Roger Izonretti, surely he could be a serious opponent for any of todays heavies?

    I think he had a go at muay thai but got destroyed because his first opponent was "the sting" slowinski. I dont think webby is better credentialled then haumono, Solomon's old man was a former aus heavy champ and im sure solo would have had more than 5 amateur fights

    If its so useless dont post then....start a thread of your own and contribute something worthy of your high standards.

    NRL players entering boxing is a relevant story even if its a few years off....bud.
