FF Annual #3 was full of unusual and previously unseen set-tos, each covering in several panels what other more regular issues had space to do across numbers of pages - it remains one of my favourite ever comics, as it just bursts with energy as a result.
There are a few too-brief match-ups in there I could call out ( and some which no doubt did go on to happen at greater length in later years and other books ), but if was to pick just one, my inner 7-year old is yelling that it would have to be -
Quicksilver vs the Human Top
It's value to me is probably precisely because it's so brief - I absolutely loved those two panels as a kid, and I don't recall them ever going one-on-one again*. My older head is telling me such a throw-down might have become a bit 'one note', given it's a scrap between two speedsters, but I'm sure Stan and Jack could've raised the roof with it ...
*Edit - an internet search tells me otherwise me here - Quicksilver did indeed face off against Whirlwind later, in Avengers #83 - my bad ! Even then, it was only a matter of several panels amongst an Avengers / Masters of Evil fight, but I stand corrected !
