With Jettson out with injury does anyone else think Hunter could bag his first SX title?

Maybe a win in SX
That’s a race win
0% chance. He needs to win a main first.
I wouldn’t say 0% chance but I see a lot of other guys in the hunt in front of him currently.
Well...if he can stay in it while others can't...I guess we'll see.

I want to see Hunter win more than any other rider on the gate, but I don't understand this narrative of now that Jett is out, Hunter is the next logical choice for the SX championship. Again, I want to see him win over everyone else, but he hasn't even won a 450 race yet, let alone be considered a championship contender. I'm realistic, not delusional.
Now MX, I can say with confidence he will be a contender. But we're not outdoors yet.
He will win one this year
not just one....mark my words
Hunter can, yes…. But it requires him to do something he has never done before. In the past 2 years, Hunter has like 2 450 SX podiums. In that same time frame, Chase and CW have something like 22 WINS. And we all know what Eli can do…. I think Roczen has a slightly better shot at it than Hunter.
Hunter is getting better, but SX isn’t his strength, MX is. Win a race or 2? Ok. Win the title? Not likely.
Sure he could, kinda wide open now that Jetts out.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did well in SX in 2026, I guess we shall see
He has a good shot at it if he stays healthy thru the series.
It's kinda the season where the stars could align for him. Jett out, Eli and Chase on new bike and team. I don't see him win a title over a healthy Webb though.
I do
No lmfao
He is a smart racer who knows the goal is consistency and points not necessarily wins. Lets see what the numbers are after round 3 and round 5
I get it that some of you want to see Hunter win a race before thinking he can win a title. But I think Cooper Webb had zero 450 SX wins before the season he won his first title. Hunter does have 2 podiums. And he has 2 SMX wins, which isn't too much different from an SX win.
I'm not going to pick him to win the championship, but if he won I wouldn't be shocked at all.
Fair take…. I wouldn’t be shocked, I just think it’s not likely.
The odds will likely favor Sexton, Webb and Tomac over Hunter when they come out.
I agree. Hunter is probably 4th-favorite.
I would guess the odds might be something like:
Sexton +250
Webb +350
Tomac +500
Hunter 10-1
Pit Row
I don't think he is even 4th. I would put him below Anderson. Jason has a 450SX title, and has won 14 450SX races in his career. He won 7 in 2022.
Well Hombre is older now...
True, he is 33 now, but i still think he finishes the 2026 SX season ahead of Hunter.
Y’all may be fueling Hunta’s fire…
If Hunter can capitalise early, if the other 2 have set up issues early. Yes, he's in the thick of things.
Who knows, he might just come out swinging.
Time will tell, but I think Hunter finishes higher than Anderson in the point standings for 2026 SX.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. But let’s see how he handles leading a main/points lead before we give him a title.
Also agree, I think Ando will have some great races, but also races that take him out of contention. P5-P6 seems likely.
I’d put Roczen really close to Hunter in the odds.
And mark my words, someone is going to surprise us too…. Battling for top 5 or better that we aren’t accounting for. Could be RJ, Ferrandis, Mookie, Prado or someone else…. But I expect it.
why would anyone discount hunter, i think he will do just fine and surprise a lot of peeps
If he wins his first race I won't be shocked.
If he crashes out or wins nothing I won't be shocked.
If he wins many races and a title, I'd be pretty shocked.
What is it with you guys and yer truths? 🙃
for the title.
