What are your favorite brawls from a comicbook?

I think Kirby was the absolute best and I'll throw in FF# 25 and Avengers# 3 as my top two. Also, JB's Avengers VS Hulk fight from his six issue run, Romita JR's Darevil VS Punisher streetfight from DD# 257, and the battle of the "new" Thing VS the grey Hulk where the Thing finally beats the Hulk by Pollard.

This is probably my favorite.  It was one of the first few comics I ever read and last year I even managed to get Stan Lee (he scripted it) to autograph it for me:

Miracleman 15- mainly for not shying away from the horror that such a
brawl would probably cause.

For fun- the one with the Thing vs the Hulk- from the FF run where the
Thing was able to turn into Ben Grimm at will, but was slowly becoming
meaner and meaner because of it.

Hmm, all Marvels, so far...no DCs...

Superman vs Muhammed Ali, anyone?  Now, that was an ass-kickin'!

Thing vs. Hulk in FF 112.  I think that's the same story George is referring to above.

That was my first Fantastic Four story I ever read. It was the Marvel's Greatest reprint. The scene where Ben whizzes the carousel to take out the army is still one of my favorites.

Hulk vs Thor in the Avengers/Defender clash. Not a
"slugfest" per se, but rather Thor grabbing hold
of the Hulk and just standing there,
matching the Hulk as his rage made him stronger
and strong.

I'd have to go with Thor vs. the Midgard Serpent too.

I think that Snowbird vs. Kolomaq (sp?) was quite good as well, though.
