But when we are talking the best don in business sense (as a don is a supposed to be head of a criminal organistaion where money is the most important thing with power) I think mike was better then Vito, Vito never went in to drugs that was a bad decision, never saw paulie Gattos betrayal and also sending Luca to his death.

Mike on the other hand was cold, smart and suspected everyone. Used people when he needed and always tried to stay a head of the game regardless of morals.

Don wise mike is better.

Not including part 3 as that wasnt needed.


On the other hand, Vito was never subjected to a Senate interrogation; he never had any high level member of his family betray him; and he never had to anticipate (let alone actually) murdering a member of his blood family.
