Sabretooth don't even need to chop his arms or stab him into the chest.
A slice on the face, the Thing is blind.
Now, what he's gonna do?
Thing has problems catching Spider-Man, Sabretooth walked over Spider-Man and the Punisher and didn't kill them cause he was going to care his business.
After Creed make the Thing blind, fight is over.
"champions II didn't come out all that long ago...i'm fairly certain those claws are not bone"
They wer..this happened after Logan had the adamantium removed of his body. That is why its bad writting. Even with Adamantium Herc wont go down stabbed or not because he doesnt die by conventional means. He also has a healing ability on his own.
Now a bone claw wolvie against a guy liks this and win? Its bad writting. Wolverine had a huge jobber aura in this period.
The bad writting thing was in relation of him winning against immortal Hercules. Thing has been hurt by him before. thats not bad writting at least in a continuaty way.
The reason why i go with ben is because he has too much strengh for logan or saber to handle in a fight that will go more than just a few rounds.
If Ben was a guy easy to go down even with the strenght he has is one thing. But he doesnt. That also comes in play.
And the fact i have seen Ben knocking the lights out of Logan with one punch while i have never seen logan do that to ben even with claws.
On the other hand, I've seen Wolverine punch his claws through Ben's chest and take him down in one hit. Which evens things up, doesn't it?
Seriously, though, there's no reason he couldn't. Unless Grimm's hide is nine inches thick? Wolverine rips through stuff that's a lot tougher then rock all the time.
Ben isnt just made of rock and waiting to be torn apart he has enough durability to go into fights with guys like Hulk and Namor where if he was JUST covered in rock would shatter him.Ive also seen te guy push his way through lasers from Dr.Doom and still manage to clobber him[may have been a doombot but when isnt it? 😆]
Theres no way i hell i can see Sabertooth doing more than superficial damage and without the "Class 100 strength means nothing" power-up tooth' goes down
