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.
Yep the calculator says losses are 33.33% and wins by stoppage almost 3/4 (72.3%)

I never won a world title.
One half of my professional fights were knockouts that I scored.
One quarter of my professional fights consisted of world title fights.

I think you're trying to glean a little too much info there, my man.:)
(I think you'll get this; just think a little, as this guy fought big names.)

You just beat me!
I was doing calculations for the 72.3%.

Yeah, I can see from the times, that you had it too... but that I just beat you to the punch, so to speak. Sorry about that ;;-)
Reminds me of the time when a very tricky question came up on another site. It was around midnight in my part of the world (Europe) and I was about to hit the sack... but when I saw the question, I just couldn't leave it hanging there unanswered. So I stayed up and worked on it all through the night... until about 5 in the morning, when I finally got it. It felt so good to know, that while I had missed a good night's sleep, I had actually solved this difficult question... but when I logged on to post the answer, I found that a certain Mr. Hascup had beaten me by a few min. Man, was I pissed!

Hey, I'm not pissed at all. You were the better man. Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

I only worked with it for about 15 minutes.

Good ole Kwang Sun Kim, who gave Carbajal and Chiquita very tough fights, especially Chiquita, who was behind by a decent amount after 10. (The cards had Carbajal ahead of Kim, though I thought the fight was even when Carbajal turned the lights out with a bomb--the main event of a good PPV with Rafael Ruelas, Paez/Pendleton and Melchor Castro v. Bong-Jun Kim on the undercard.)
He was 6-2 with 4 knockouts.

Oh yeah how could I forget. I was on the right track with the obscure SE Asian fighter :-)

I'm sure Carbajal and Chiquita remember him well.:)

Another one, should be easy though.
I was stopped on my debut.
I'm in the IBHOF
Over 25% of my fights went 15 rounds.

Actually he went 15 rounds a total of 17 times in his 74 fights, so that was just under 23%, But I thought you meant Canto.

Yeah, fraction threw me off for a minute when I saw it because I looked up his record and saw he couldn't have gone 15 in a quarter of his fights.

And another.
I had one amateur fight.
I never received a title shot.
I lost over 25% of my fights
As a teenager I took the 0 from a future IBHOF fighter who was unbeaten in almost 60 fights at that time. I also beat him in a rematch.
I fought 3 other HOF fighters, beating one and losing on points to the other two.

I was the inaugural champion of my weight class.
I lost my title by knockout in my homeland.
I later regained it by knockout from my conqueror in his homeland.
Later, I lost it again in another man's homeland.
I tried to win another title in the same division from a future IBHOF inductee, who knocked me out in his homeland.
I stayed around too long, as I lost my last six fights.
