That's a hilarious visual, but I'm not sure being "molassessed and feathered" would impede the Hulk.  And having people laugh at him would only piss him off.

As said eariler, I also see Ben being a slow brawler.  He'd go melee and use cars, the street whatever he'd get his hands on. 

Another way of looking at it, is look at the times he fought Namor when he wasn't in the water.  Namor could out move him and deck him numerous times. 

But if we're gonna go a bit outside concept with the Thing, here's a way he could enhance his effectiveness: He could learn archery, and have Tony Stark design a compound bow with a pull of, say 65 tons and some adamantium arrows. That'd get Hulk's attention.

NOW we're talking! Hilarious post Greg.

Ben Grimm has already mastered the greatest fighting discilpline ever devised profesional wrestling.  One day Ben will clobber the Hulk with a backdrop driver or Stone Cold Stunner.

Changing the direction a bit:

What about Simon Williams, Wonder Man?

Ben being set in his ways is one thing. Simon looks like exactly the type of guy who'd take up Jeet Kune Do or something. But placing it in comic book terms, why isn't Simon getting rigorous fight training? Coupled with his immense strength, and using submission holds and such, why wouldn't Simon become the most unbeatable fighter in the MU?

Chuck Norris ability, say...coupled with power like that, is unstoppable.

And this wouldn't even be a bizarre out-of-left-field thing. Actors take up martial arts for films, like Matt Damon, and then become serious proponents of it. No mistake, Chuck Norris and Jet Li were the real thing, but Jason Statham is a pretty proficient martial artist I wouldn't want to tangle with.
