Poison Ivy/Colossus VS Crimson Fox/Man Thing

I don't know how agile the Fox would need to be to dodge Ivy's plant attacks.

I know Colossus is stronger than Man-Thing, but can he hurt him enough that he can't regenerate?

Battle takes place in two locations.
1. An evergreen forest.
2. A swamp.

And while some of these feats required Man-Thing to be in a swamp, after being chemically changed in a sewage treatment plant, Man-Thing is a self-contained ecosystem, able of regenerating himself without the swamp. Theoretically, all these past feats of oozing and regeneration should be possible without the need of any extremal water or plant sources:
