He did it. 13 years in, 32 years old. Winning the title has to feel sweet. But I’m curious if losing the title of “the best to never win it” feels even sweeter. All jokes aside, I don’t think the moto world has been THIS happy in so long.

@DonUMC It’s all opinions man. I personally think most of the guys I listed are better than he was for their careers. You disagree. That’s fine!

@Fever_Moto Doing great, thanks. But, c'mon, when you leave someone like JBM off your list, you can't expect it to be taken seriously.

My All Time Top 10 List (both series taken into account) 1. Carmichael 2. Villopoto 3. McGrath 4. Stewart 5. Reed 6. Dungey 7. Tomac 8. Roczen 9. Jett 10. Johnson HM: Windham, Bradshaw, Hannah, Webb, Sexton, Anderson, Musquin, LaRocco

Have you not seen the extent of his injuries that compiled? If he had the ability to stay healthy, he easily could’ve. He only did 6 races in 05 (and was on an underpowered 250 2 stroke mind you) and won 3 of them. He was top 5 in all of them. 2006 he just needed to go from 18th to 15th at Daytona and the title was his. In 2007 he won 13 races. In 2008 he won 1 race and got 2nd in another before realizing he had a torn ACL. That summer he went perfect. 2009 he won 11 races. 2010 he broke his wrist and still got a 3rd after that before bowing out. You can’t tell me had he raced the full 05 season that he didn’t have a legit shot. He easily could’ve won in 06, one mistake cost him. He obliterated the field in 07. And I’m sorry but I don’t think Chad touches him in 08. A couple races sure, but the season before and after he won over 10 races each. He was winning that too. And he was looking to dominate in 2010 too before breaking his wrist. Got a first and third and then a 15th or something in the race he got hurt. He could’ve won that too. Coulda shoulda woulda, sure. But you said he would never have been able to do that. But right there is 6. And 2014 he got 4th with several terrible races consisting of crashes. He had the talent and speed to destroy every record there was. But he just could not stay up right and healthy. That is a massive skill set in itself.

@Fever_Moto @SMXthots James would have NEVER won 7 Championship. He only won 2 and raced well into his 30s. Cmon guys

Where do you rank Kenny in your all time greats list? Counting Supercross and Motocross? He’s easily top 10 for me.

Solid. I don’t know if I saw Emig. My first race was when I was 2. I don’t believe he was there. I think that’s the year he got really hurt. But as a kid he was my absolute favorite. Simply because of the MXS Road Champs toys and because of EA Sports Supercross. Looks like we’re from the same era!

@Fever_Moto List based on guys I’ve personally seen race mx/sx in my lifetime. Mx is more gnarly in my opinion, so my list will reflect that for those questioning my MC placement. RC RV JS7 ET3 MC Jett RD5 Reed Kenny Emig

@DonUMC I actually know a lot about the sport, Don. Again, this is all my opinion. They can be different without negativity. We can also debate respectfully just the same as plenty of other people have done in the replies. Hope you’re doing alright!

@Fever_Moto JMB was the only rider to win the three main titles—250MX, 500MX, SX—in the same year. You know nothing about the sport.

I had an epic brain fart and forgot Jeff Ward and Jeff Stanton.

@Jper47 I’m not basing it off of accolades. Just purely my opinion. Accolades are definitely a factor along with potential and what they did for the sport and riding ability.

@Fever_Moto I don’t hate it, but if you’re basing it on accolades, how do you put Tomac behind Stew, Reed, and Dungey and then Dungey behind Reed?

@mc72888 @SMXthots I totally spaced and forgot him

@SMXthots @Fever_Moto Any list that doesn’t have 6x champ Jeff Stanton on it should not be taken seriously.

@DonUMC @cb4sythe Sorry bud!

@Fever_Moto @cb4sythe That’s your response? How embarrassing.

@DonUMC @cb4sythe Don’t get triggered over an opinion!

@cb4sythe @Fever_Moto I am thinking the list is rage bait. It is obviously ridiculous.

@Pepe06684654 Hasn’t raced 450s yet!

@Fever_Moto Where’s Deegan

@AndyJGrace @RobTheConqueror I don’t think we were able to see what Reed was capable of in outdoors due to RC. But the list is subject to change and strictly opinion based

@RobTheConqueror @Fever_Moto Reed ahead of Jett in a MX/SX list ??

@RobTheConqueror @mazz_AFC Well look at who he’s been face against. Tomac, Kenny, people can say what they want but Anderson was fast outdoors too. Along with Musquin and other guys who specialized outdoors (Osbourne, AC, Ferrandis, ETC). Tough group to beat for sure.

@mazz_AFC @Fever_Moto Its crazy that he only has 1 MX win.

@cb4sythe I totally blanked and forgot Ward and Stanton

@Scumbag238 Winning a title isn’t easy! Neither is winning 10+ mains. Especially during the era he’s in!

@Fever_Moto How on earth is anderson in your HMs lol

@NotSoLiveTiming @SMXthots He had a pretty rough injury to his back that was lingering. Also had some tension with Kawasaki I heard. Obviously it’s been resolved since but

@Fever_Moto @SMXthots Love rv but he won and dipped out only to show back as an “ambassador” for whoever will give him a bike

@SMXthots @NotSoLiveTiming Not to mention he could’ve won in 2010 too.

@Fever_Moto @NotSoLiveTiming One of the few in the 40 win club and retired super early. Probably coulda won atleast 2 more titles. Maybe not 6 straight but coulda switched brands and won a couple more titles

@SMXthots @NotSoLiveTiming Yeah this guy hates RV for whatever reason lol

@NotSoLiveTiming @Fever_Moto Jett will most likely move up above him but other than that who you putting above RV?

@MxTSic @reservjesus88 Dude, every time I think of it, I laugh of joy like “it’s real. He really did it.” It is such a feel good story, and incredible too. And the way Hunter handled it made it even sweeter.

@Fever_Moto @reservjesus88 I’m not gonna lie, they more than made up for it with Kenny’s title. If you’re a true fan of the sport, and invested, there’s no way tears weren’t in your eyes.

@moablocal Glover is another on my HM. Along with Stanton and Ward (I drew an absolute blank there).

@Fever_Moto There are alot of factors when it comes to ranking all time greats. I’m old school as well so for me my list is: RC ET JS MC RV RD Johnson Hannah Ward Glover Kenny is in the top 20

Guys I would appreciate some follows! I follow back 😎
