That link you provided reads:

This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates),

You would have to omit (probable candidates) since "probable candidates" you cannot confirm that which you have no proof of.

I would estimate there are over 100 probable candidates.

That leaves 10 balck holes... or around 20? or maybe even  25?? But certaintly not 130 since you didn't omit  probable candidates.

There you go, Lazy...
