I'll bet if that statement was said about Superman you'd be here with your cheerleading outfit and pom poms.
Ok. Let me explain it Barney style
In Fantastic Four #28, the FF along with Silver Surfer and the Future Foundation faced the Griever. An abstract entity who's purpose was to destroy anything...anywho during the climax of that encounter she trapped Dragon Man, Sue, Reed and Ben in Necro spheres that were future points in time when they would meet their deaths. Each hero faced a future death, DM unmade by his maker, Sue humiliated by Doom, Reed overthinking to death and finally Ben.
Ben faced Rapture. The same Rapture from FF #40 who wrecked Kallark and his Legion of Super Heroes effortlessly. Now if you look at the dialogue from Rapture she states that Ben is the best his world has to offer (better than hulk being an earthling) and that she's never seen any being fight through so much pain before (including Gladiator who she's at that point already defeated). So if we go by your logic then Ben> Glads>Hulk+Hyperion. Which you know isn't true...but maybe it is. I mean Ben knocked Hulk out recently and he did do better against the same foe so....abc logic fail
