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.

Who am I?

Aaron Davis.

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

Nope

Kirk Daley, Scott Daley, Ricky Womack, Nelson Beleno, Favio Catalino Romero, Kenny Klingman, Lee Canalito, Ray Schlamp, Shazzon Bradley and Lester Jacobs all fit as do several others.

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.

The answer has to be Laila Ali, like I stated before.

Correct, well done.

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.
Who am I?

Yep.

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.
