so did Rossi I mean this argument can go round and round. They are all amazing riders and all deserve their acclaim, especially when considering their place at the time their championships occurred.
Mike Hailwood consider the crap he prevented from killing him. Rode everything including Isle of Man which is only surpassed in crazy by the early board trackers with total loss lubrication and no brakes.
Exactly, it’s friggin stupid to bring up 500cc's 2-strokes since The GOAT never had a chance to race them
I guess the question would be, could he without what’s available ? The answer is probably yes, but I have no dog in this fight. I never liked the lil shit since Moto2 and never been a Rossi fanboy. I was stupid and rooted for Hopper, McCoy and the like. I also maintain that any of GP champions that won on the 500 2T will always be greater (didn’t say better!) Fish on.
Hailwood didn't know the difference. He would hop on a bike, ask his mechanic how many gears it had, and win the race. The bike hardly mattered.
Just to add more fuel to the flames.. imo marquez trumps rossi in everyway except media manipulation/theatrics .... maybe because he doesnt need to? https://motomatters.com/opinion/2019/10/16/marc_marquez_six_titles_in_seven_seasons.html
In order for MM to get the GOAT title he needs to win in another bike, preferably one that has very different characteristics to the Honda. Or even Stoner would be better by comparison.
