    I think any correct definition of floored must include the specific criteria that at some point the butt kisses the canvas...

    Or at least all four are on the floor.

    Good point. This is a more complex matter than at first appears...

    How long? This is the next key question.

    How long do all four or the butt need to be in contact with the canvas for a legitimate 'floor'? I would contend if a boxer bounces straight back up he's not been floored. Thoughts?

    Well, it shouldn't be more than 10 seconds, or else it's KTFO lol.
    But I agree with your take, it should be at least 3 seconds.

    Gotta admit, he did come up with some classic lines. That one is pretty entertaining.

    What was the other option again? Stumbling on you feet, holding or something like that?

    It was something like

    "Being hit and dropping to the floor"
    Or
    "Being hit and holding on"
