    A fighter I rarely if ever see mentioned on ESB. Why is that?

    One of the most durable fighters ever, no doubt. 1100 rounds, 144 fights, 25 losses. Never stopped. Only off his feet once against the ATG puncher at the end of his career.

    Also, the name Gorilla Jones moderately reeks of racism. :-(

    You never hear of him because he was from one of the weakest eras of the middleweight division. He simply wasnt that good. His induction into the hall this year is a joke.
