c'mon guys me personally I love Bonnano's courage and man did he have balls.But there were at least 7 or eight guy's ahead of him before his mentor's death. Did he cut a deal with luciano ?.HE WAS ONLY 26 !
No one was ahead of him, that's why he was made Boss. Maranzano's Underboss Angelo Caruso, according to Valachi, asked Bonanno to parly with Luciano. That shows the standing he already had due to his family connections and his closeness to Maranzano. If anyone was better qualified, they would have got the job.
