Question

RC or MC, Who is / was better?

Answer 1

There is really no comparison...... The only difference is Jeremy is taller.

Answer 2

Both legends.  Why compare?

But then according to my son I am wrong and Ricky is the G.O.A.T  which apparently means Greatest Of All Time and I tend to go by his opinion as he is totally obsessed with Motocross and Supercross.

Answer 3

it all depends on your outlook.

MC was a better supercross rider, but RC was a better motocross rider.

MC will always be the king of supercross, and his 7 250cc championships, and 2 125cc championships prove that.

True MC only won 1 outdoor 250cc national championship back in 1995, but he was a supercross specialist.

on the other hand, RC has won more outdoor races than anyone else, and more outdoor national titles than anyone.

there is no way to tell who is or was the best, because they are from different era's, and here is why I say that.

MC came into racing in 1990. By the time RC started racing, MC was on the downside of his career, yes he was still racing and sometimes winning, but he was past his prime. MC's prime was in 1995-1996.

RC came onto the scene in 2000 or something like that.

neither of these 2 racers ever really raced each other in thier prime, but it would have been fun to watch.....

P.S. ..... and not to take anything away from RC, and I am an RC fan, but he was given the nickname GOAT from a friend.

He is the best american motocross racer, while McGrath is the best supercross racer...

But what about Stefan Everts....10 time world motocross championship winner, and from every class...MX1, MX2, and MX3.....

True he didnt do much racing here in the US, but he has beaten riders like James Stewart. Remember the MXoN 2 years ago, when RC was hurt???

Answer 4

Ricky is deffinately hands down #1 havent you seen him ride i see all this stuff about ricky retiring and saying bubba is the man.no bubba is good at supercross but ricky can give him a run in there.but outdoors didnt you guys watch this year?he killed every1 including bubba..but him and mc are both good no doubt i think its who you like more reli rc is good but mcgrath was too

Answer 5

DEFINITLY RC!!!! Yes, MC won more supercross races, but in my opinon the nationals (outdoor) races are way tougher than a supercross..But RC won EVERY moto one season..Thats 24 races in a row!!!! And there is a reason they call RC the G.O.A.T.  (greatest of all time)

Answer 6

Dont get me wrong I know jeremy and love to watch him ride so Not to take anything away fromgood ole Jeremy, but he did win more supercross races than most people compete in and an outdoor championship... hes amazing,, but just look at what RC has done, how he won his championships,,, like his first  year at  Honda,, he got knocked out and run over at the first round, the outdoors,,, some of these guys cant even finish a season and he wins avery single moto... twice.

You are probably gonna get alot of Bubba talk.. But lets just see if he can even finish a season . RC is by far the best there has ever been PERIOD!

and the is part Im sure he can still show Jeremy his skidplate.
