I don't get the anti-boxing sentiment. Its a farce, surely, but all this 'risk of injury' crap is just...well, crap. I'd wager he takes more punishment in the first ruck he gets buried under in any game, than he would in a bixing match. I mean, seriously, what happens?! He gets a black eye, or a saw jaw. Good god, imagine a modern Wallaby back actually being tough enough to take a decent punch!
Also, i reckon hell be a hell of a lot better than most people are predicting. He's lightning fast, very agile and has great hand eye co-ordination. With some very basic boxing technique, and a half decent plan to work from (he'll relish that after 7 months of Deans), I reckon he'll do very very nicely.
Nasser is a wanker, but he's very astute, and wouldn't have suggested Cooper do a bit of boxing if he didn't think he'd go alright.
