@lukehero: 95% of Marvel's bricks are brawlers as is. Very rarely do any of their heavy hitters display impressive skill feats, and in comparison to the actual skilled fighters like Cap, T'Challa, Iron Fist etc, they look poor. So I'm not surprised that someone like Shatterstar, who is an accomplished fighter and is significantly faster and more agile, was able to dodge around the Thing for awhile. The Thing has his military training, was a collegiate wrestler, is an exceptional boxer, which helps his brawling style, and is self taught in Judo as well IIRC. He even taught She-Hulk how to box, and Jen is one of the few bricks that displays a consistent level of h2h training. And it doesn't help Ben's case when he is generally treated as an underdog brick with an unstoppable will. So usually being outstatted, he compensates with his skill. His skill displays aren't exactly blatant like the kung-fu types, but go through some of his fights over the years and see how he fights. At times it is pretty obvious he can be seen incorporating his boxing quite a bit, but for specific issues, I'll have to get back to you on that.
