It took a while for the fight to come to an even point of the original-1st version of the Hulk (grey) vs Benn Grimm-the mighty Thing...(tho mutating)....Grimm is foremost the underdog here B'cause his form is not in flux of burn-off Gamma ray discharge( bye-bye Hulk )as it happened to Hulk. Second,other heroes, villains of lesser-equal strength to Ben Grimm have also beaten the Hulk in various issues-in fair fights-Hulk style-all carnage/wreckage included.... (Leader,Thor,Rhino,Wendingo,Abomination,Wolverine,etc) 3rd,betweenthe Jack Kirby,John Byrne era-(great stuff )- Has the Hulk EVER faced Galactus? -NO! his heralds ?-No! or the Cosmic Cube?-No! Wundarr,the Aquarian? no...! Hulk ever face a doppleganger of himself ? NO...! Ben Grimm HAS & won! using both wits & Strength in too many issues & crossover issues to count.... Now I know there are those who'll argue I'm wrong...But,I have been collecting c-books since 1966 - Marvel & it's competitors(dont' get me started on Supes vs Capt.Marvel) So I know what I am talikng about here "true believers"- as Stan would say....ME & M'bros, have been fans of Marvel since Thor wuz a Godling & needed help lifting Mjolinor! So if ya wanna brawl,I'm on Yancy street& WAITING... I'll bring the shield,hammer,claws,armor,cube and a lil cosmic ray generator...you can just bring your trusty gamma bomb. (tho you'd get a 1 shot deal,bub!) yeh...ya can bring S.H.I.E.L.D too....along with poker cards for the game...Col Fury loves ta play & have cigars!

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.

They teamed up in that one, and didn't really fight until (presumably) some time after the last panel of the comic. I always liked <I>Incredible Hulk</I> #365, myself, with the Grey Hulk encountering a human Grimm and a Thing-ified Ms. Marvel. The scene where Ben and the Hulk have a drink together is priceless.

It was in the actual miniseries, not a tie-in issue. The two see each other, leave the meeting to go "settle things," and they turn up later playing foosball or something completely mundane. It was cute. "I should give that show a try."

While not technically a fight between the Hulk and the Thing, this at least deserves an honorable mention. "I have to say that one fight that belongs on this list somewhere is Thing #3 by Dan Slott.

I might've included it over the dino-Thing/gray Hulk fight. You definitely chose the right #1, though. Those might be my favorite FF issues of all time. As for Hulk vs. Avengers, the John Byrne drawn issue where he takes out Hercules, Namor, Iron Man, and Wonder Man is pretty cool. I agree that The Big Change GN was pretty cool.
