Physicality

Since we're looking at whose a better punching machine instead of who has better firearms, let's measure by both feats and facts which of these two trump the other in terms of physical Strength, Durability, Speed, and Stamina.

Powers
 * Strength - Yeesh, the Grundy of Earth-2 is really something, but this handily goes to Bodolf. His base power outclasses Grundy, and it will only increase more and more drastically as the fight progresses.  Personally, I don't see Grundy taking down his enemy by pure strength, rather by utilizing his powers.
 * Speed - Bodolf by a long shot. Grundy in all of his protrayals is slow and lumbersome, and Earth-2, while more agile, is no exception. Bodolf actually utilizes his strength to leap at incredibly high speeds, and I would find it no surprise of Bodolf just blitzes Grundy at the beggining of the fight.
 * Durability - There's no denying that Bodolf is one tough mo-fo, but Grundy has the advantage of already being dead, with one of the better renegeration factors of the DC Universe. If Grundy's going to win the fight, it's going to be through longevity.
 * Stamina - Both of their staminas are unlimited. Tie.

I'm going to take Bodolf's reactive evolution with a grain of salt here, as he's never shown using it, and it's only assumed that he has it because it is shared with other hulks. Therefore, I'm not going to really count it in my vote, but I will say that if he has it, he shoudl win the battle right-out. Being a Hulk, Bodolf doesn't just not get tired as the battle continues, he gets stronger. I'm not particularly sure what the limit is of his anger empowerment, but I'm sure he's going to get pretty damn frustrated with how powerful Grundy's regeneration is.

On the other side, Grundy has much more versatility with his powers. His world-wide dead plant manipulation should give him a clear advantage in the early battle, and I don't see any problems with him restraining Bodolf until the vicking starts to get more pissed. His durability negation in the form of his withering acts as a yang to Bodolf's yin (or other yang?), and I honestly see this battle decided by which is stronger - Grundy's disintegration or Bodolf's anger, which gives him more vigor to combat said ability.

X-Factors

Honestly, I'm not looking much into the X-Factors other than Intelligence, which Grundy ironically steals. I'll be honest, I see the battle progressing in two different ways.


 * Bodolf blitzes Grundy, bashes in his head, not knowing that Grundy can regenerate it. Grundy regenerates, then proceeds to restrain Bodolf with his plants, and moves in and disintegrates Bodolf before the warrior can gather enough anger to properly fight off the life drain (remember, Grundy can drain high-end superheroes in seconds).


 * Bodolf plays it smarter and plays around with Grundy, and gathers his anger before moving in and punching Grundy into a bloody mist, or kicking Grundy into orbit after enough time.

Seeing how Bodolf himself and many other Hulks approach combat, I belieave Senario 1 will happen more times than not. So, unless I can find an instance of Bodolf using reactive evotion, I'm going to give this to Grundy with a lot of difficulty.
