Canzoneri was an enforcer, he gave out beatdown for guys who welched on bets, didn't pay the vig. Canzoneri hanged around a lot of mobsters, he was close to the Bonventre family. Be boxed under a different name and took dives in his teens. There are two stories of how he was made and both involved him being well liked and made in the late 1940s. The first one is that he got into an arguement with a made member that wanted him dead as he supposedly knocked out an associate at a club. The second one story is the one I give more credence to is that he walked in on a body being moved after being killed. Instead of killing Canzoneri for witnessing the crime, they watched over him for a whole night, then in the morning they said everything is alright, after a few days he was made into the Bonanno. I dont believe Canzoneri ever killed anyone.
