Carson Brown! He's way under the radar for some reason.

We've had 3 different Champions since Dungey retired. Right now it's looking like Webb could be the one who steps up and gets a second championship, but it's still anyone's game. If Roczen wins, that would be 4 different champions in 4 years and I don't believe that has happened since the early 80's?

Edit: I guess that happened 2008-2011

also crazy reading through this and see how riders where so dominant in the 250's at the time and then it all changes once they hit he 450 class.

Does anyone know how Osborne is on a 450? He's pretty dominant on a 250 right now.

he won't have a lot of time to become a big name on a 450. He will turn 31 during supercross next season. He's good but I don't see him winning much in his first year, if at all.
So he will turn 32 in his second season on a 450. Chances aren't very high that he will ever win a 450 title.
IMO
LOL how wrong I was

A lot of people in this old thread had really high expectations for Plessinger on the 450...

They should have looked at all the risen talent in the class he was entering as a freshman before backing him eh?

It is really tough; ask AC.

I'm not sure - but here's my thoughts.

CW2 - after his last contract year at Yamaha, he'll be on KTM and probably training with Aldon. I think he and Anderson would gel well, and he'll be able to chase Marv for another 2 years or so. I've always felt that Webb was lacking some training discipline, and I think by being teamed up with the ever-complaining Reed - his success was hindered.

Plessinger is a stud, but I haven't seen the consistency I'd expect from a champion. He tends to dump it when he's out front. But that whoop speed and his size tell me he will do well.

Forkner - I like him on Kawi, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was in contention for this years SX and MX championship.

AC - he's got Mike Allessi disease. Stunning amateur career and relatively blank pro career. It drives me nuts, because I'm a big AC fan, but he's right on the cusp of winning it all.

Justin Cooper, Cantrell and Sexton will be fun to watch.

I dont know if I see anyone dominating out of the current 450 riders. If anyone would I think Webb, but he is already 25, couple that with more guys coming up every yr.

If I had to bet on it Id say Webb could win 3 or 4 sx titles possibly. The next possible guys are Sexton if he can stay healthy (basing this on speed we saw before he got hurt) or Jett Lawrence.

Sexton,

He didn't impress me during his early 250 years measuring raw speed against Forkner but he sure proved me wrong in 2020, and in 2021 I still believe he was the quickest out of everyone for the year before he lawndarted.

Haiden Deegan will be the next biggest thing and biggest positive thing for our sport in a few years time, I'm not saying he's going to dominate but the kid has such a massive and diverse following from all walks of life not just moto, he will boost the sport in a big way.

Looking at this old thread from 2017, we still don't have a dominant rider after Dungey with more than 2 championships.  Or, do you think Tomac should be considered with his amount of Supercross wins?  Before last night I would've said yes, but now that Eli's out and lost the '23 SX championship to Sexton I'm not so sure. Congrats to Sexton for surviving the carnage.

Do we see Sexton be dominant from here on out?  Jett or Hunter?  Does Webb come back strong?  It's pretty interesting to read this old thread.  For future reference, I'm going to say if we do have another dominant rider who will win multiple 450SX championships it will be Sexton or Jett.

Pretty obv that Sexton will put his name on the hall of fame. I don't get it how people can have doubts about Sexton. I'll not go to far with Jett right now.

I'm going with Jettson. He seems to have the maturity of a much older rider, MC as great as he was, posted his #s by remaining healthy and injury free. James should have broken every record by far but had the mentality to crush everyone to the point that (in my opinion) he became his own worst enemy. His desire to crush the field led to too many unnecessary crashes. I still can't believe how he even got up from some, Daytona in particular. I believe Jett will be the #1 guy under the Honda tent within 2 years. Who knows, Honda being Honda may think they don't need to pay that many top guys and let Chase go. Maybe the brothers are a package deal? Who knows, Honda has shot themselves in the foot on more than one occasion.

If I was Honda, I would have three 450 riders under my tent.  The Lawrence brothers AND Sexton.  All great riders and great role models for the sport.

Mee too. But that's just us. Honda will do what Honda does.

Seems like the only thing Nostra-ToolMaker missed in this post was his prediction that Jett would be Honda's #1 guy within 2 years...turns out it took him less than 2 months from this post to gain that position.

Really interesting to read through this thread, though, and see how far off some of the predictions were (Josh Verize?), and how relatively close correct others were (Webb).

At this point, we still really don't have a dominant SX rider but you would have to say Webb is closest to this with his 3x championships.

yeaa thts prolly the most accurate assessment for right now , coop , Eli , chase & Jett hasent been able to 2 & 3 peat like dunge & RV so yeaaa u have to go with the next category of ranking which would be who has the most SX titles outta the current crop which would be coop at 3

Jo Shimoda, he trains with Marvin Musquin' old trainer Yannig Kervella and is signed with Geico. Saw that kid rip his 65cc back in 2014 at Junior World Championship and 4 years later he's already on a 250cc bike racing MEC Amateur Cup!

Look at some of these early posts on this thread, it is actually scary and mind boggling.
