I was watching an old 2007 Unadilla 250 moto where Jeff Emig was the color commentator and made a prediction for Ryan Dungey. He said "In another decade we're gonna be talking about him like we were any of the great motocross champions."
Being that it is now a decade later, do you think Dungey will go down as one of the motocross greats? Personally, I consider him to be one. Emig definitely has an eye for seeing talent.

Memorable like Bradshaw no way
The Shop
1. RC 15 Titles 150 Wins
2. MC 8 Titles 89 Wins
3. Villopotto 9 Titles 72 Wins
4. Dungey 7 Titles 79 Wins
5. Stewart 5 Titles 98 Wins
6. Johnson 7 Title 61 Wins
7. Hannah 6 Titles 64 Wins
8. Ward 7 Titles 56 Wins
9. Stanton 6 Titles 37 Wins
10. Glover 6 Titles 45 Wins
If it was Supercross only Reed (3 titles 55 wins) would be in the mix for top 5-6. If you throw in World MX then you need to get Everts, Decoster, Cairoli, Smets, Geobors, and Robert in there.
Why the hell do you have to take a shot at him every thread there is?? Seriously whats your problem man, are you 14?? Grow up.
Comparing US riders with those who race MXGP is more complicated. If we're only looking at the Nationals and MXGP riders like Everts, Smets, and Cairoli among some other would be competing for top spots along with RC, RV, and others. Adding in Supercross makes the comparing more difficult haha
Titles are what counts!
And Reedy has 2 SX titles, 1 mx.
Wouldn't it be cool to take the riders (in their prime) from that list, line them up on equal unfamiliar equipment (Altas...
Pit Row
We can do this.
Reads like personality or some other factor not listed had influence rather than pure logic...
I mean, one did time in a jailbox, the other was on a wheaties box.
Dunge will be in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame, future generations will pay door charges just to look at his old bikes, and he will walk as royalty within moto events for the rest of his life.
There is absolutely zero comparison.
Stewart is ahead of RJ, Hannah, Wardy, Stanton, Glover is because of the amount of wins. His 30+ more wins to me is the equivalent of 1-2 titles.
Also Glover never won a SX title, so he would be behind the other 6 time champs.
It's an off the cuff list.
And Reed has 2 SX and 1 MX titles.
If it was based on SX only. My opinion.
MC
RC
Rv
Dungey
Stew
Reed
Hannah
RJ
Stanton
Ward
Still all my opinion. Hannah should probably be higher on the list, but SX from 1977 is a lot more different to Supercross in 1987 than Supercross from 87 is to 17.
