Common misconception. let me clear this out for you:
IS THING A GREAT H2H FIGHTER OR NOT?
Answer: yes
IS THING A SKILLED H2H FIGHTER OR NOT?
Answer: yes
IS THING ONE OF THE BEST H2H FIGHTERS IN THE MU?
Answer: no
IS THING ONE OF THE MOST SKILLED H2H FIGHTERS IN THE MU?
Answer: no.
What makes Thing a great fighter, and a MODERATELY skilled one? His physical attributes. What makes even psylocke a more skilled fighter than him? her style. When it comes to skill, Thing is rock bottm (excuse the pun). He has the skill of a drunk monkey when compared with wolverine, lady deathstrike, psylocke, electra, DD, cap america and a hell of a lot more.
He has very little versatility, he has very little skills. What does he have? he has physical attributes and will power. That's how he wins fights. By having great physical attributes and will power. Not through the use of skill. he's a good fighter when you look at victories. he's a crap ass fighter skill-wise.
That having been said, Apocalypse wipes the floor with Thing.
My 2 cents
