Welcome! Telling us right off the top you're a Grandfather...
I hope you don't find too many members childish and immature. I am in my 30's; many are still in high school.
Your question - Thing has given the Hulk many epic brawls in the past. Thing is a character with great heart, who doesn't give up. But though he's strong and tough, the Hulk is stronger, tougher and more agile. Virtually every fight has ended with Hulk winning, eventually.

Pineapple Thing was significantly stronger and tougher. Enough to cream the Gray Hulk, even after being sneak attacked. Against Regular to Savage Hulk - unknown how he would do.

I like to call him Pineapple Thing, ever since the Gray Hulk and he met a year after their fight. Ben had actually been transformed back to a human, while his girlfriend Shari became the She-Thing. Hulk was suffering a deadly disease, and crashed a seminar Reed And the FF were giving. He doesn't see Ben at first but sees Shari.
He says: "Ha, Grimm! What the heck happened to you?! Last time we met, you looked like a pineapple! Now you're a broad?! What a riot! And I thought I had problems!"

In the olden days, as far as strength went, Hulk was number one and Thing was number two. Plain and simple. And when they fought, it was Marvel Legend in the Making, Instant Epic Battle. Basically, Ben was the better fighter, but more often than not, he would lose to Hulk's virtually unending strength.
Classic stuff. Since then, they've made battles bigger, but none better, probably because there was an innocence back then, no fancy-shmancy one-upmanship. It was classic writing in the style of the characters organically determining outcome, not PIS nor CIS.
