Cavedish and Bartolomeo are significant pirates from the Worst Generation. But they don't belong on this list because they are not major contenders for control of the sea. Honestly, Zoro and Killer don't belong either, they just had the benefit of having a high enough bounty by Sabaody.

All the other people can be considered major players in the game of thrones, but Cabbage and Barto aren't interested in playing.
