description: "William Landon Jones, known as \"Gorilla\" Jones, was an American boxer who held the NBA Middleweight Boxing Championship of the World. Although he was nicknamed \"Gorilla\" for his exceptional reach, Jones is to be distinguished from the original \"Gorilla Jones\", who campaigned from 1913 to 1924 and held the World Colored Welterweight title. Jones was never knocked out. He had 52 knockouts out of his 101 wins, with over 141 total fights. He was posthumously inducted into World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1994 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2009."
