Champion, the Elder of The Universe who is dedicated to contests of physical prowess (and cheats by using an Infnity Gem....shhh!!) has come to Earth, seeking a boxing match versus the planet's mightiest heroes!
It's just an exhibition match, for Earth's honor...although Champion and his droogs keep hinting that Earth's very survival might be at stake, as well.
Of course, we Earthlings turn it into a big pay-per-view media event:
Uh...no. Namor refuses to fight, Doc Samson is sent home for being too wussy for this crowd, Thor is disqualified for using his hammer, Hulk goes bestial and won't box by the rules, Sasquatch and Colossus get plain beat, and Wonder Man is disqualified for tearing up the ring in an attempt to win without actually boxing.
Geez, does no one know how to box?
So now, in a force-filed enclosed ring in Madison Square Garden, as billions watch, Earth's honor (and existence?) comes down to one big lug:
Spacebooger wants a Marvel movie of this issue.
Ben goes Rocky in Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7 (1982), by Tom DeFalco, Ron Wilson, and inks by "Camp, Esposito, Giacoia, Green, Gil and Stone"
Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? Really, it doesn't matter--Marvel Two-In-One is back, and that's prize enough for any week. So just go and vote!!

"Ben. F$%^ing. Grimm."
Amen to that.
Part of the Champion's speech to Ben about how he couldn't win sounds like the same speech Wraslor gave to Monkey in that episode of Dial M For Monkey (Dexter's Laboratory) that Randy Savage guest-voiced. Was the writer inspired by this comic? The plot is even scary similar.
It's also similar to an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
