@@rediron44 I think RC is the only racer in history to start off pro winning, (after a few bugs worked out quickly), to last over a 10 year career, (10.5 with RC), and keep raising the bar every time he got challenged. From knocking off MC in SX, (won't even mention 125 nationals), to Reed, Windham, Pastrana, Alessi, Everts, (IMO), Tortelli, Cobra, Stewart, RC was the only rider in the History of the sport who rose up to victory every time. 21 different series for a pro career, (he was out 1 SX series with a knee problem, Reed Won), and he retires with over a 83% win average. My explanation for his massive success? When he started winning big amateur races as a kid in public JH school, (as a short, fat, red head freckled Ginger), the "Bullies" stopped picking on him. "I was sacred to death to lose! I know no sports psychologist would say competing in fear is good, but that is what I did." "Quote from the Whiskey Throttle show interview with RC.

But dungey is 2nd all time in both outdoor titles and wins. You don’t luck into that, only guy that may pass or tie him in titles is Eli if he wins this season and next. I imagine he’ll retire after 2022. Dungey also has 4 SX titles and should of won 5, but RV won due to dungey loosing 25 points due to chain being derailed, he lost by less than 25. He also should of won a 4th outdoor title but while being out nearly a minute of RV his boiled his fuel and lost that title after losing a full Moto and lost the title by less than 25. He was a hell of a rider, he was just too text book in his style that appeared slow and mechanical.

Jett did break the commie anti-spirit of the FIM with 22 straight moto wins though, and that makes him great,---and pissed off the FIM at the same time. :)

no disrespect to Reed or Bubba, but Reed could never keep up with the top riders, very good, but not a great. Bubba was lighting on the small bikes, but always out of control on the bigs, and could only win if he was strong enough that day to hold on, unfortunately he took out many other riders when he would wipe out. RC was simply the best, most consistent rider to ever step on the track.....without him the other two might be rated a bit higher.
