Which in your own opinion was the better character. Tony Banta the supporting character or Tony Micelli the starring character?

I never really got into "Who's the Boss?" so I have to go with thick headed but good hearted Tony Banta from "Taxi".

Banta had his funny moments as dumb as they were. Micelli was kinda like Banta without the stupidity. A smarter Banta if you will. He had all the same qualities as Banta but with a daughter to raise which Banta didn't have. One was a boxer, one was a former Baseball player. Both were funny. However in reality, Tony Danza was a former fighter. Even though he played a former baseball player in WTB, he did have a boxing match in one episode with Thomas Hearns. And he won too. But we know that's only make believe.
