I'm sure everybody has a LCN boss they looked into the most . The questions I ask to all of y'all is: Who is your favorite boss of all time? (Mine is Carlo Gambino) Who is your favorite boss of the decade(2010 and on) /or who are you rooting for to have a long run? (Jack Giacolone for me) ( Jackie ) I'm trying to get through the hours at work with some mob talk lol

My favorite boss since 2010 would have to be Luigi "Baby Shacks" Manocchio. He was just released from prison and will be on home confinement back on Federal Hill.
My favorite boss of all time: I'd have to say John LaRocca of Pittsburgh, gotta go with my region!

Read them all thanks Oscar. Mr. Amato liked Droznek so much that he promised him membership in La Cosa Nostra "if the books ever open up."
That's probably Bs right?

Vic & Gas were the worst ever...
They ended the game.
Oooofa I know, that is exatcly why they are interesting to read about. I don't find reading about bosses that are so low key you never read of anything. Also its more like Vic in Gas because they had sex.

marcello , trafficante. arcardo.. tommy luc. carlo g. chin..costello.. profaci these guys lasted decades. ran their families like a biz..made a lot of millionairs add these guys up how many years in prison did they spend all together Ahh, the good ole days. Not one single one of those guys had to deal with the RICO ACT. I could make the same point about smaller family bosses like John Scalish, John LaRocca, Jimmy Lanza, Russell Bufalino, Stefano Maggadino and Joe Zerilli. It's very hard to compare mob eras because over time, the laws change and the public is more aware of them. It hasn't been a secret since Joe Valachi. The guys from the 1970's and on had it the toughest, they had to contend with RICO and a much stronger FBI presence. "Most" of the old time bosses ran their crime families like a business, in more traditional rackets as well. It's like trying to compare Peyton Manning to Dan Marino. When Marino played, the game was more brutal, these QB's today have much more protection because of strict rule changes etc. that's my two cents. I'm not saying Gambino wasn't important, but the media has blown up his legacy like he was so smart and brilliant...that's a bunch of shit. A. He married his first cousin (and that's fucking nasty, inbreeding should be punishable by jail time) B. He was aligned with Lucchese because their kids were married and Lucchese truly propelled Gambino's power with the sharing of unions. Funzi Tieri was a better boss than Gambino any day of the week and twice on Sunday...IMO.

Favorite boss? Vincent Gigante, of course. His whole story in insane (no pun) not to mention he goes back to Vito Genovese. They should make a movie on him already.
-I shot him a coupla' times. -What's a couple? -Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times? -Maybe fifteen? -Hmm, it could've been fifteen...
-Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso

@oscarthedago,what does gambino marrying his cousin have to do with his capability as a boss of a cn family?. Nothing. Same with the other point, everyone has 0 power without their friends. That's what politics is all about. Climbing up the ladder making the right friends and getting rid of the right enemies. In his time he was the most powerful boss and it doesn't happen by accident. Not in the mob and not in anywhere else in life.

I would have to say Carlo gambino, Tony accardo, and Frank Costello. Carlos Marcello gets the runner up.

Who is your favorite boss of all time? Probably Raymond Patriarca, Carlos Marcello and Vito Rizzuto. Who is your favorite boss of the decade(2010 and on) Vito Rizzuto As for "rooting" for bosses, that just ain't my style.

@oscarthedago,what does gambino marrying his cousin have to do with his capability as a boss of a cn family?. Nothing. And funzi tieri was one of a few front boss's that the genovese family used (catena,eboli,salerno)to mask the real power in the family from the 60,s on which was Benny squint Lombardo. For me lombordo was the best boss ,as low key as they come. I didn't say anything about Gambino's incestual ways affecting his ability as a boss. He was a good boss according to what was written on him, but in reality, you have no idea and neither do I. What I was saying was that guys like Gambino and company never had to deal with RICO. If he did, he would have been rotting in prison. I don't believe the media hype John Davis created about Carlo being Boss of all Bosses, I never have and I never will. And I agree with Benny Squint being one of the top bosses. I like Funzi the best though, whether acting boss or street boss, he had clout. Pizzaboy could chime in about Gambino and his thoughts.
