Hi there. Long time poster, first time thread creator. Some of you may have admired me from afar (Pr, carver9, bluewaterrider, Bada) and have wondered, when IS this handsome Hulk fan (I'd be glad to include him in my raptor pride) gonna post a thread (I have attached clickable links below)? Also, I bet he's ginger and Irish, because, awesomesauce.
With that in mind:
Ben Grimm and Spiderman (Peter) are equalised in their stats. Speed, strength, agility, skills, etc.
The only thing different, is their personalities. Peter Parker is still Peter, and Ben is still Ben.
They are both fighting each other for the sake of their loved ones. Giving in would mean certain doom for them.
Well, if we go by the stips, the FF are part of Spidey's loved ones as well as Thing's, so I bet Ben would be less motivated by the possibility of winning nothing at all or having no important stakes on this. Peter is just selfish and stupid.
He takes the fall to keep Spidey from killing his family
Dunno overall I'd say Peter has more heart... or is just too stupid to know when to throw in the towel. Given all that happens to him I'm impressed he gets up in the morning let alone thinks he's doing good for the world with how things tend to work out for him... How many dead ex's/family members, also Soul owned by Mephisto... the list goes on for the poor man. Also forever stuck in school... dear God being a student to being a teacher.... mercy for the man.
Neither of then are great exemples of force of will. Ben wanted to quit FF many times, in civil war he ran away...and Spider made a deal with the Devil to save his very old uncle who died...
Peter has no sold thing when it comes to overcoming stupidly unfavorable odds with will. I favor him with this match unless ben gets to have his existing brawling/boxing skills and peter doesnt

That's not fair, it was a fragment of Pete's councious, not to mention it wasn't the lack of will that made him lose, it was guilt. Also...
SPOILER ALERT
Pete's already won the rematch. Id bet any sum of money that Otto failing to stop that bomb in SSM 19 was Pete's doing. Peter used that device to transport them both in time and space and bested Ock but Otto doesn't remember it. The countdown to his failure's started in issue 19. That's how Slott's stories work.

Pete can whine and complain when stuff happens to him but when he's fighting for someone else nothing short of death can stop him. Not even that sometimes. Remember some old issue where he died protecting a little girl and ended up in Death's realm, had to face a 30 foot tall Thanos and didn't give a crap because that girls life was at stake.
