Certainly not currently, and not ever really. They've really been portrayed as more or less equal with slight edges to either.
Ben usually seems stronger though as he's part of a much smaller team than the extended X-Men and gets to show off his stuff a lot more than Colossus.
Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of the Thing.
But, I just worry that most of the posters in this thread have not seen some of the battles he has been, taking on entire teams and top-tier characters.
Of course, as time went on, he became fodder for the writers to use in any attempt at making a title character look good.
In the past, Herc had to bfr DM into the heart of a volcano.
Namor had to come up with some "hoodoo" and freeze DM.
And, Hulk and DM just went toe-to-toe until Hulk was free from some kind of mind control.
And, this is just the one-on-one showings. There are plenty of instances where DM found several characters at the same time.
I just don't think Thing or Piotr would have fared as well in many of DM's fights.
One more question: Previously, Dragon Man's flame was able to exceed 8000 degrees. Then, he recently underwent some changes, enhancements.
Does anybody have any theories on how his flame would effect Piotr or Ben?
