    Would have gone a long way provided he didn't fight his son.
    Realistically he was very good but severely hampered by being shot when in his prime.
    A further bit of evidence is Jeff was asked who was the best of the brothers and indicated Snr was better that Roger and we know how far Roger went.

    ive only seen some youtube clips and he didn have the best legs dont know if that was due to the shot but he had lightning fast hands and he was a big man, geez never heard that about jeff must been very good. Hes a pretty unusual fighter looked like a tough out for anyone

    Dmn, this guy is 50, is this true? He looks like 75 .. I also do not rate him high .. didn't he lose to that guy from "best cry ever"?

    'That guy' is a former world champ (Rocky Lockridge). And for the record he fought Roger, not Money Sr. Learn your boxing history son because you clearly DKSAB.

    senior was a garbage fighter, no power, no defense, no chin.

    This was 5 years before I was born. Furthermore, I am European, we have more exciting fights here.

    So, that's the reason Floyd is featherfisted and why he was down against Judah.
