Then if that's the case that "cream puff" needs to retire as well. Because if you get knocked out by a retired NFL RB you need to rethink your career choices.

In boxing those guys are called trial horses. All boxers face a few of them on the way up. Many are just club fighters like Rocky was. I hate to think that after alll thos eyears in the NFL Frank needs the money. I think he's doing it for fun. I hope he doesn't ever get in with a skilled boxer.

I think gore is just staying active.. but i have no clue about his personal life.

Evander Holyfield's son got knocked out by an electrician this past weekend

As an all-pro running back Frank knew how to take a punch and dish it out. He is super competitive, let him apply his energy wherever he chooses. Will always be in his corner rooting for him.

Yes!

Fwankie.

Why one day? Sign Frank for one year!!!! No, seriously I´m so happy for Frank. One of the all time great 49ers. A warrior on the field and a great guy off the field.

He and E.James are the only RBs in the top 15 not already in the HOF.
4th in total yards from scrimmage. The rest of the top 10 are in the HOF.
