I think he was a terrible boss; but he did something right.

Did he ever had any other opposition as family boss besides the Gallo’s?


No opposition to speak of. The truth is that Profaci was an extremely successful and respected "original." All his later headaches came from the upstart Gallo brothers. If you truly look at his long underworld career (aside from the later Gallo debacle) you'll realize he was a shadowy figure who controlled one of the most powerful borgatas in NYC. A multimillionaire, not only in the rackets, but through his savvy and intelligence regarding legitimate business. Maybe more so than 90% of all the other bosses.
