    Below is my take on the top 50 heavyweights of the decade, 1900-09, based on their performances during that decade only!
    Found it relatively easy for the top thirty but from there on it is a bit arbitrary, especially as regards positions. Comments, criticism, omissions etc, are welcome.

    Jeffries

    Hart
    Langford

    11-Root

    You forgot someone. I do not believe you intended to leave this individual off your list. They had a mustache.
