I would agree with it completely, but maybe put FF #320 lower, because the Thing (my fav) finally beats the Hulk. That comic had action galore in it. Definitely FF#25 & 26 is tops on the list.

You see the Thing really taking it to the hulk throughout the comic book, becuase when they first start fighting they are very close in strength. (just about even) with ben (the thing) having superior combat skills. But as the fight drones on the Thing begins to wear down a little while the Hulk's freakish strengh contiues to grow with his rage.Even with this fact the Thing still is dishing out more than he is taking at the end of the battle, only to be knocked out with a classic sucker punch delivered by the Hulk. Clearly their best battle. As for the battle at the gateway arch that is in ff 166 and 167 really takes place in 167 i think ff 112 is the best fight between the two.
