The guys that revolutionized, or changed the way we do things and the guys who do things considerably different than the rest. Those are the guys that will always be memorable and legendary to me.
2 125 mx titles
2 125 sx titles,
most 125 wins in sx & mx, his 2004 title he won 11 overalls and 23 motos and wouldve been perfect if not for clutch failure.
on 450's he has
2 SX titles
1 MX title and it was perfect.
where as Reed only
125 east SX
2 SX titles
1 MX title
now if you want to compare just their 250/450 class careers they've been quite parrallel
~ both have 2 SX titles and 1 MX title, both riders won 2 titles with same brand
~They both never beat RC for a title
~, both did SX only contracts on Yamaha's,
~neither has defended a title,
~ both have won at least one supercross race in all but one season of their careers,

On a serious note : Both have had very long and successful career's. Hard to say one is better than the other. It's been great seeing both of them out there for this length of time....and still going for it. Makes me think guys like RC and RV hung up their boots to early.
RD on the other hand.....as healthy as that guy is , and keeps getting better and better. Who freakin' even knows what his stats will be by the end of his career. Legend in the making right there.

Can you imagine if they were just arguing over which Monster babe was hottest?
Bubba has the wins and championships totals over Reed but they didn't take the same route to get where they are now. Someone above mentioned Reed's Australian championship needing to be counted but comparing the talent in an Australian championship to a championship in a US series is downright ludicrous, nothing personal, just the facts.
Bubba also has been able to secure factory sponsorships every year when on occasion the factories weren't buying what Reed was selling at
the price and terms he was wanting.
One thing for sure, both have enough crazy fans to sell a ton of Reed or Bubba candles that smell like their farts.
Both are tenacious competitors no matter what the competition might involve.
I would bet my last dollar that Reed would prefer to have the win and championship total advantage that Bubba has though, and that says a lot.
Reed's solid start to the season is very cool, he's one of the most savvy riders ever and is still out there, with a smile on his face so far to boot. Hopefully he can keep that train a rollin.
We are all just damn lucky to have witnessed one of the greatest rivalries the sport has seen.
I've never heard of a Reed scrub....
