He is known for brawling.
I think he's Marvel's "fighter" based on the fact that whether he knows he'll get whooped or not, he goes in and tries his best.
Not gonna assume that's what Vic meant but that's what I think of when the word "fighter" is attached to Thing. Fighter doesn't neccessarily mean literal fighting.
I don't think Colossus, Hulk etc are known as fighters coz they are two extremes. Hulk doesn't consider winning or losing, fights for the fight of it. Colossus just fights to get the job done. Thing is the fight from the heart, guy you can imagine seeing on the street, type fighter.
In my opinion anyway.

I think everyone knows about Things fighting ability and his determination. Nobody can take that away from him cause thats what makes him who he is. I still think Colossus can win unless someone can make a good argument changing my mind(and yes that is a challange). I hope nobody think that I am a Thing hater cause of my sig. cause he is one of my favorites behind Juggy.

Thing and the Hulk is a credible fight based on Thing's pre-eminence as the 'fighter' in Marvel.
Colossus is just the X-Men's generic strong man.

A credible fight ? Stop it please. In the countless fights Thing had with Hulk, he always held his own for a short while, before biting the dust.
Yeah, and Thing is just the FF's strong man, so ?? Great point you have there. [/B]
Obviously you didn't notice the current Hulk/ Thing four part comic.
You know, the Thing.
'Yeah, and Thing is just the FF's strong man, so ?? '
No, Thing isn't 'just' their strong man. Thing isn't known for his strength. Colossus is quite literally, 'the strong person' in a massive group of people.
So...
