Ok.. first of all, Srank. Let me start by appologizing. I realised some of the things I said were harsh and uncalled for. Didnt mean to make things personal, dont normally do that and we usually get along. So again Sorry. But I still disagree with your posts and say you're lowballing Spider-man. So back to the topic.

I'm not low balling the feat, you however were purposely embellishing it and leaving out details... so I corrected you. What you said is that he relived all the fights from is past. He didn't. He relived small sections of some of his fights... and that is a HUGE difference from what you said. What was shown, on panel, is Spider-man being forced to relive a few seconds of some fights / events from his past, before jumping to the next one. That is not my opinion, that is an objective fact.
Days? Where are you getting that number from? Lets say conservatively there is 130 fights represented on the splash page (30 in the foreground and 100 in the back ground), so we end up with 139 once we included the original 9 that are shown in detail. Then lets say that each of those jumps lasted on average a minute (which is overly generous, I'm thinking 15-30 seconds tops), and that each one of the 139 fights represents another 10 that took place of panel. That's 23 hours. And I think that even that is a stretch.
He didn't blitz Kaine, and least not on the part you are talking about. I suppose maybe you could say he did in the initial panel when he was Nightwinging across the page... but that isn't an argument I'd make as the narrative clearly stats that Kaine is faster than Spider-man on that very page. Not to mention Kaine basically one shots him after saying he's seen all the moves Spider-man was bragging about. I never said Vet had anything to do with anything. I said Scorcher, Chance and White Rabbit were Z String nobodies that barely register as a threat. They aren't even Shocker level villains... remind me... did Spider-man effortlessly blitz Spider-Shocker? No... no he didn't. I have to day, I do think it is a amusing that you are accusing me of low balling for pointing out the context you conveniently forget to mention every time you start singing Spider-man's praise.
And unfortunately for Spider-man, Wolverine is at his best too. Logan can eat punches from the Hulk. Hulk is like 50 thousand times stronger than Spider-man, it would literally take Spider-man all day to even start accumulating the same level of damage Hulk slings with a single blow. Even if Wolverine was only capable of taking on blow from the Hulk before going down (which we know is not the case), his damage soak would still be too much for a Spider-man caliber opponent.
FYI Each one of Spider-man's punches in Hide Tide were stated as being able to level cars.
OR it's possible possibility the writer assumed the readers are smart enough to understsand something that should be obvious. He doesnt have to chew everything for us in the narration. And it WAS shown in the art.

Then there's this.

If the writer wanted to make his intentions even 1% clearer he'd then have to personally come into every readers home and say "Clearly that's what's shown in the issue. Did I really have to come all the way here, thought it should be obvious to anybody."
That said I dont mean to insult your intelligence by assuming you dont get the writer's intetnions and do not realise why this is a crazy stamina feat. I know you do, its just your self-preservation instinct kicking in. First you say you don't lowball Spider-man then you say things like:
"He took down White Rabbit, Chance and Scorcher. Wow." while ignoring they all had spider-man's stats and the overall impressiveness of MA skills Spider-man demonstrated in that scene.
A 1/10 a second pressurepoint speedblitz of 3 very fast superhumans and your natural responce - "not impressive" and then you say you're not lowballing the character.
Then there's
"he hit Kaine twice and knocked him of the cat walk into that giant vat of plot device" at the same time you forget he speedblitzed him twice and landed like 5 hits for one of Kaine's hit. Even in your last post you try to excuse Kaine getting hit 5 times by saying that he later tagged Spider-man once. As I said. Lowballing.
Then there's ASM500 that shows Spider-man re-live like hundred fights in a raw and your responce "not a feat of stamina and not impressive"
And then you once again claim you're not lowballing anything.

Seriously, if you applied the same tactics with Silver Surder we'd be talking about mexican sledgehammers and cosmic armbars right now. Basically your debating tactics conceringing Spider-man comes down to either "nu-uh", "not impressed" or claiming "PIS!" for every feat you dont like. And that's a really bad tactics.
Great. Let's ignore all of Spider-man's feats because he didnt try to speedblitz Shocker.

Spider-man did speedblitz Kaine and if what Wolverine did to Ragnrok qualifies as speedblitz in your book then what Spider-man did to Kaine should be concidered the mother of all speedblitzes. I dont care what Spider-man said or thought, I care what was shown on-panel and its this:
The first time Spider-man landed several (afterimages included) hits before Kaine managed to land one. The second time Spider-man went tornado on Kaine's ass then kicked him into the Vet all before Kaine cold even raise a finger. Even though Spider-man was blinded and Kaine was in a better position. And somehow its still not impressive in your book.
And yet in the graveyard scene, Spider-man's punches couldnt even crack a tombstone or kill an ordinary human female in one shot. What's shown on-panel >>> Spider-man's narration. Wonder what would've happened to that tombstone or Charlie if Spider-man hit her this hard. One thing for sure, Logan wouldnt be smiling either.

So a) In that fight Spider-man punches weren't anywhere near his best. And b) He punches even harder these days than he was back then.
I know Wolverine is at his best, good for him. His best doesnt enable him to sit there all day and take Spider-man's punches. And "he took punches from Hulk" argument does not prove that. Here's why - imagine you're being punched by either Spider-man or Hulk. Do you think you'll feel the difference? Both punches will take your head clean off. And while Logan is not me, nor you, has superhuman stats and healing factor his brain still CAN be damaged by either class 100 or class 20 attacks. With class 20 it would just take longer because he'll be healing the damage faster. But that does not make him unkoable. It was never that way and he was never shown that way. So no, he cant shrug off Spider-man's punches. And he sure as hell not wearing Spider-man off in a fist fight.
