I'm not sure I have one favourite. One that has really stuck with me, though, is the Avengers vs. Nefaria from the seventies:

Sometimes watching heroes lose a fight can be as awesome as watching them win one. In this case watching them struggle against the unstoppable force that Nefaria has become is enthralling, and I especially like seeing Wonder Man overcome his fear and step up against a foe more powerful and dangerous than anybody he'd ever faced before.

In agreement with you about Simon. I LOVE it when he uses his head instead of losing it...

[Iron Maiden]

You gotta give Stan & Jack a shout out for the Thing's epic battle gainst Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four #40. It goes on for 6 or 7 pages of just Ben vs Doom, after Doom has taken on Daredevil (who had come to the FF's aid) and the FF, who had lost their powers in a battle with the Frightful Four The great thing about this story is that it has an unusual ending. There is no celebration....Ben quits the team in frustration and it is immediately followed by a rematch with the Frightful Four in 41-43

A more modern example, the fight between Iron Fist and Elektra in the short-lived Defenders book by Bendis, while maybe not the important fight in Marvel history, is beautifully drawn by David Marquez. The whole fight is fantastic, here a few panels:
