The Thing vs Sabretooth

I'll admit, I heard it from these boards and nowhere else explicitly, but hell if it just doesn't sound right.

The Marvel Directory says he can press 85 tons. It's reliable as far as it goes, but its information hasn't been updated in years. Nevertheless, that strength outclasses Sabretooth. Coupled with Ben's skill and surprising speed (he's a very experienced fighter), this is an interesting fight.

A spar forum is a forum where two posters take charge of one character and basically go at it. It's like an RPG, but the only objective is to kill the other dude.

in response to spar thingy... oh...that does sound cool...

don't get me wrong this is an interesting fight...just not THAT interesting...thing's got good fighting skills...sabretooth's are superb.... thing has a huge strength factor...sabretooth has a huge durability and healing factor that negates it... thing has surprising speed....sabretooth has been documented as a blur, he now has enhanced reflexes and enhanced healing factor....due to his super strength alone he should be able to take some ting punches without failing....add in a healing factor and indestrucible skeleton...uh oh....thing's punches ain't looking so impressive anymore...

Sabretooth's healing/regeneration abilities, reflexes, speed ang agility exceed those of Thing by far.His fightning skills are above those of poor Benji too.Ben Grimm is a former boxer and wrestler, Victor Creed was a C.I.A. agent, a Black Ops special agent and the list goes on.He has martial arts and hth combat knowledge near or equal to those of Wolverine, plus he has all of his powers but on a higher degree.In his previous incarnation he beat the crap outta Carol Danvers a.k.a. Miss Marvel and Rogue.This guy can school Benji very bad, cause he also has the killer instinct.He'll slash his eyes, then chop off his hands and legs then watch the Thing in pain before killing him, slowly.

Alright, screw it, does anyone want to do this fight with me? I'll take Thing and argue his case at the end of my GIGANTIC ROCK FISTS RAWR.

Depends on which incarnation of Sabretooth, but I'd say Sabretooth 4 / Thing 6.

Figth goes for the thing. More durable, alot stronger, more ability to hurt and soak damage and more heart.

Saber is a beast thats out of this league.

Sabretooth dies in this one trying....

His claws might scratch him, Wolverine already proved it. But beat him? No way. They dont have the strengh of the top tier for actually kill or knock out these guys.

Ill go with the example of the Hulk/Logan tussle during the first PAD run. Logan hurt the Hulk but didnt beat him. And while the Thing doesnt have the healing ability of the Hulk he is durable enough to handle it.

The moment Thing gets his hands on saber hes done.

He is going to win because he is more durable and stronger than Sabretooth...unless Sabretooth gained new powers that I didn't know...I've been out of touch for awhile now.

K3 while the Thing was stabbed by logan he wasent out could was it?

thats what i base myself in, either saber or logan can hurt him but actually beat him its another "thing"-no pun intended.

Yes Saber is better than logan in everything. Hes more vicious, cooler, a better killer. But that still doesnt put him at the top where guys like Herc and Thor hang.

and yes even the Thing.

EotS is really out of whack, with Wolverine having serious difficulty with characters he should be able to take out easily (Daredevil, Elektra), and at the same time easily taking out characters who should be a serious challenge (Beast, Thing).

Yeah Logan has problems with streeth level guys but hangs out and hurt Top tier guys 😛

wow k3vil I actually agree with you on something....amazing..

thing appears more durable.....however sabretooth can take more punishment hit for hit than thing can due to his admantium skeleton and excelerated healing factor.... thing is stronger...however he's not much stronger than sas who was punching the crap out of creeds face and didn't get much more out of him than a smile....

He's not durable enough to keep from being torn apart by a guy using razor sharp adamantium claws backed by 10 to 15 class strength.....if wolverine can pop his claws through things hide without class 10-15 strength behind his claws..imagine what sabes would do to the guy....sabretooth can do it faster and easier...

he's strong, but not strong enough to sufficently damge or KO sabes to get a win....sabretooth took it to a class 50 character (mrs. marvel) and hit for hit...was winning as she was wearing down due to fatigue while his healing factor kept him fresh as a daisy.....now he has more superstrength coupled with an adamantium noggin....he's not going down to things hits plain and simple....like I said he's even already delt with a class 100 strength level character and almost killed the guy....given his new attributes...thing doesn't stand much of a chance...

Correct me if Im wrong, been outta comics for awhile, but, last I saw, Sabertooth 'had' adamantium but I thought Apacolypse took Sabers and gave it to Wolvie...so, isnt Saber back to norm?

no later he got captured by some shady weapon x guys who put the adamantium back into him, gave him enhanced strength, sped up his healing factor, and enhanced his reflexes......he's definitely not the same as he used to be....he backed down a dozen of mr sinister's superman rippoffs (these guys had super strength, heat vision, super speed, flight and a couple other things and they wanted absolutely nothing to do with sabretooth).

Jin. Saber taking the advantage against Ms marvel as class 50 is a good feat. But he will be dealing with Thing whos practically twice as strong as she is. More durable and be less willing to tire.

I just dont see him beating Thing. In the last Saber mini, Sasquatch beat him down and hes currently weaker than Ben. Saber only got out of it because he knew Sas was there and had a trap ready.
