Thing vs Doflamingo

Not sure how The Thing manages to successfully tag Doflamingo. Doflamingo should be excessively faster and better at dodging, not even counting his ability to essentially fly. That he has a slight combat precog as well is just icing on the cake.
Ben has shown numerous times to be capable of tagging/reacting to people who are at least as fast as Doflamingo and at best much faster (Human Torch, Quicksilver, Annihilus), as well as react to bullrushes from people with similarly high "travel" speed (Black Bolt, Namor, Captain Mar-Vell), so I doubt Doflamingo would be particularly hard to tag. As for flight, Ben has ways of bringing airborne opponents down to ground level:

And that's not mentioning how fast the projectiles thrown by him can move. Doffy would be hard-pressed dodging something going that fast.
Also, you can't really use the argument that The Thing would have to tag Doflamingo eventually. High tier One Piece characters like Doflamingo can fight for days on end without break or losing power.
Didn't plan to.
And finally, even if The Thing can no-sell all of Doflamingo's attacks, which I find rather questionable,
Not really questionable. Ben has shown many times to be capable of withstanding "piercing" attacks, even if they were coming from characters strong enough to fight against Ben in hand to hand:

And I seriously doubt that Doflamingo is physically strong enough to contend with Ben, so I doubt strings will do more than annoy him.
Doflamingo would only need to string him up in a way that The Thing couldn't leverage himself to break out of,
Questionable if he is even capable of binding Ben, or if his strings are strong enough to withstand Ben flexing them off. Trapster's glue works specifically by binding molecules, and by doing that the more victim moves, and Ben still flexed it off like nothing:

Ben was also capable of breaking a slaveblock that was strong enough to anchor a skrull battleship:

Which is very impressive because skrull battleships are gigantic:

And doubly impressive because it was very early Thing, and he got much stronger since then.
So yeah. Doubt Doffy can bind him for more than several seconds.
and carry him through the air to the nearest ocean shore to hold him underwater and suffocate him. It wouldn't even be against Doflamingo's instincts given what world he's from. The Thing can't breathe underwater and I doubt he could hold his breath for more then 12 hours.
Does Doflamingo even fight like that in character? Regardless, even through Ben can't breath underwater, he has enchanced lung capacity that would give him more than enough time to get out of the water. Which was shown perfecly during his fight against Namor in AvX. And, unlike OP characters, Ben can actually swim. So that's not a winning strategy anyway.
@warlockmage: I didn't say he tanked it. I said he was poked by it without being injured (he felt pain tho). Big difference. Avengers Annual #21. Impressive because it punched through Invisible Woman's forcefield like nothing in that very page.
