Colossus is either as strong or stronger than the Thing. And I am NOT knocking the Thing or anything like that, I like him a lot. One of my favorite powerhouses. But I do know that Colossus would be able to beat him. Strength isn't even the issue here, however.
Colossus has mad agility and endurance over Thing. And his body is much more durable than that of the Thing as well. Yes, Colossus's eyes will easily deflect a magnum bullet. I've never known Thing's eyes to be invulnerable, but I could be wrong.
One other thing that I have noticed through reading both FF and X-men, the Thing seems to need to eat, drink, and breathe, while Colossus needs not to do any of that while transformed. And he can stay in his transformed state for as long as he wants, until he wills himself back to normal.
The thing that is argued probably more than anything else, is fighting skill. I know that the Thing has great fighting ability, being an experienced fighter. And I also know that Colossus has been training hard for a number of years, a few decades actually, both in the Danger Room, and by VERY experienced fighters such as Cyclops and Wolverine.
So, again, I've never denied this would be a close fight, cuz it would. It would be almost as close as Juggernaut vs. Hulk, but not quite. In the end, there would be a victor, and that victor will be Colossus.
