Crossword Genius

Weak — as a sucker? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toothless

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'weak' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'as a sucker?' is the second definition.
(someone without teeth might suck)

(Other definitions for toothless that I've seen before include "Lacking in force" , "Deprived of power" , "Lacking power" , "Unable to chew; ineffective (sanction)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
