Are you for real ?? Nucky is a boss and threat to everyone because he can still do business with legit people , he has guns in Jersey and Florida and has cash all over to buy more guns if needed. Lansky and Lucky respect him so did Manzano, Capone called him out respect to warn him that he had problems coming . Those guys know how Nucky handled Gyp and not only won that war but came out even bigger. They know how he screwed AR with that brewery , he took his money and gave him a place to got knocked right away. If u don't like the character Nucky fine but don't say he his a boss. He is on their level for sure.
that shouldn't even need to be explained.. ny is right up the road... they've told him multiple times, anytime we want, we can send the goons after you... and he's still there.. running an entire city as the one and only boss to come see. he was doing business with meyer and lucianos BOSS, AR, when them nikkas wasn't even allowed to the meetings.. nikka was meeting with capone's BOSS when he was still wearing kiddie hats... went up against his old boss, with his protege against him, and his brother, and the illest shooter alive......
and he outlasted every single one of them.. including the new york bosses.. and the blacks.. and he down with people in the damn president's office, congress, cops, cuba, the motherfukking ira... dude ain't even fukking italian... just a boss
if that's not a boss, what you call that??
this was before rap... this is all facts
