Trivia: Who am I?

Post by Controversial »

I thought I would try another one of these.

I was never stopped in my pro career and half of my defeats are recorded as SD or MD decision losses.
I won a version of a world title by KO which was a fairly big upset at the time. I was undefeated when I won it.
I won my last 6 fights before retiring and one of these wins included a stoppage win over a former world champion.
I am still alive a fought in the 80s, 90s and 00s.

Poor Mr. Moore. The Duran beating gives me chills even though I've popped that fight in many times.

Nope. I was a world champ and stopped every opponent I fought in a world title fight. I was the last 13 fights of my career by stoppage.

In fairness, you didn't say that earlier. The criteria were too vague; Mr. Hascup's answers fit the question asked.

I won the undisputed world championship in my division.
I lost by knockout in my first defense.
I challenged my conqueror for the championship in a rematch.
I was knocked out in the same round as in our first fight.

Ok here's another.

I only won one amateur fight.
I lost my pro debut and my last pro fight.
I lost a third of all my pro fights.
Almost three quarters of my wins were by stoppage.
I won a version of a world title (one of the major belts WBA, WBC or IBF)
I am still alive.

Regarding the fractional component:
So it's exactly 1/3 and "almost" three quarters, right?
How is "almost" defined here? 68%? 69? etc.
