That's fine & dandy. Your initial argument was that he was the undisputed #1 for longer than anyone. He wasn't. Seriously, the sole reason anyone thinks that guy was some type of end all be all final boss overlord was because of those moronic Bill roemer books, a guy that Accardo had a seriously, seriously shady butt buddy relationship with.

Also, he was not active for the 80s, nor for the majority of the 70s. The guy gave up his Elmwood Park street rackets to Cerone & retired in the mid-70s. By the mid 80s, he was a geriatric living full time in SoCal.
