Peter was a farmer before he came to X-Men.
Ben was a gang-leader, football player, military soldier, airforce pilot before the Fantastic Four.
We know Colossus has had lots of training in the Danger Room over the years.
Thing is NATURALLY more athletic, agile, better fighting skills, not to
mention experience. He's been fighting since he was a child....
How often has Thing fought against Hulk and last for a while?
Too many to even begin counting.
Things lasted longer against the Champion than anyone else.
Colossus went down. Thing lasted longer. Took more punishment.
Asked for more.....
Even though Colossus grew up on a farm, he has always been exceptionally athletic. Actually, a little known fact, part of his mutation is to just be in perfect physical shape and be naturally athletic. That's why, even without working out on the farm, he was always in such incredible shape (no, not from the farm work). So Colossus is just as much a natural athlete as Thing is.
Oh, and of course, Piotr has also been fighting since he was a child. He'd been fighting the Russian mafia since he was just a boy, and grew up always fighting them until he and the X-men defeated their empire and such.
Colossus is proven to be much more agile, since he doesn't lose any agility in his transformation. Also more durable, probably has the same endurance, not sure. I've honestly never seen Thing use any form of martial arts that wasn't judo. So if that's the extent of his fighting ability, than Colossus has him there, too. It helps being trained by some of the best fighters in the X-men (Wolverine, Cyclops, etc.).
Colossus takes this victory 6.5/10.
