actually tony was the underboss from season 2-6
junior was the boss......tony was the underboss
tony became boss in season 6 and paulie became underboss
bobby was being groomed to be underboss but he wasn't there yet
Junior was only the boss in name. Everybody knew, including NY, that the real power in the family and all the decisions came from Tony. Junior was only named boss so Tony could insulate himself from federal prosecution. The only person who thought he was really boss, was Junior himself. And once his crew got wiped out, it was clear by season two that Tony was the real boss of the family.
