I think anyone not tough would not last long. Perhaps the past 20 years it had changed a bit, but not much. Many of those who came into the mob were ex combat vets or ex boxers, and most grew up in hard core neighborhoods. Benny Eggs flew missions over enemy territory in WW2, even if Al D'Arco's story (That most people do not believe) of roughing him up in his own place is true, Mangano is still a tough man in my opinion.
