What happens in every fight between the Thing and Namor is that the Thing is always kicking his ass but then either the Thing accidentally knocks him into water or Namor runs away to the water, and then the Thing follows and gets his ass kicked. If Namor didnt always get to water the Thing, in my opinion, would win practically every time.
The thing did beat namor sometimes in the fantastic four series. In water, namor clearly wins, but on earth, the battle is more equal, but the thing normally beat him.

In one of the first fantastic four numbers, i didnt remember the exact number, but i think that was one of the first 15, namor and thing battled in a beach, and namor was wining because he was touching the water with his feet, but thing take and elevate him and then he won.

If he's straight from the water, Namor beats his ass. If he's been out of the water for a while, I'd still give him quite a few. Thing would be stronger, but flying's a b**** to get around.

I could have sworn Namor won that battle. Thing was wondering how was he so strong while still on land. How did Thing "elevate" Namor and beat him? Did he hold him in the air with one hand, and pummeled him with the other?
In Marvel Age #9, which is the re-print of old, Namor won. I dont own it, but plan on getting it. I did read it however.

Outside of comics that have been redone with a new artist from stories from the 60's-70's When The THING was CL5-10 and Namor was somewhere in between CL60-100.
And outside of Namor's own book. Where in a limited series he's not going to give a bad showing.
Over the last 25-30yrs Namor has never kicked Ben's ass (per say knocked him out or was the clear winner after the fight was truly over and not stopped by someone or something else).
and I will personally send $1 to anyone that can prove me wrong with an actual real fight in a real Marvel comic between THING vs. Namor that namor kicks Ben's ass.
The fight cannot be not a remake or one of Namors limited series books.
I'm betting that I'll be keeping my $1.
99% of all fights with Namor and Ben out there are from the 60's and 70's or remakes done with a newer artist.
(again Ben CL5-10 vs. Namor CL60-100 = 60's-70's stats)
That being said with The THING now being as strong or stronger than Namor.
Namor undoubtedly would be going down now against any version 616, Ultimates or MK THING.
Now Ben is 10x to 20x stronger then he was when they fought where Namor only had a slight advantage over him during those 60's-70's fights.
Call me crazy or just call me logical.
But please it's OK to tell me i'm right.
When i'm right.

First off, where has it been stated than in first encounters between Namor and Thing, Thing was only class 5-10? Prove this.
In FF #'s 25,26, 112 which were all 60's as well. Thing held his own until getting beat by Hulk. If he was cl 5-10, he wouldnt last half as long as he did.
To decide on a victor during a fight, one doesnt have to be knocked out. There are times when someone is getting dominated, and the fight is stopped. Other times opponents are evenly match and the fight is stopped. Namor and Thing seem to get their fights stoped alot due to either Reed or Torch saving him or some other reason.
99% of all their fights have been remakes? How many times do you think theyve fought? About 5 maybe 6 all together.
There isnt a clear knock out here, but its is clear that Namor is getting the best of think no? Up until the fight was interrupted, who would you say was winning? Namor.
Outwater he is as strong if he is fresh from water. His strenght doesn't immediatly decrease...
Agree.
Yes, he is more durable if coming straight from water.
Namor: 100 years old. First character of Marvel Comics.
Thing about 40 years old. Not close to first character.
It isn't "Maybe".
Best training fighting training of Atlantis, the world's OLDEST kingdom who has had time to hone the fighting techniques, experienced swordsman and 100 years of fighting experience. WAY more skilled.
