Before anybody cracks a nut I know this has been done before. But there is alot of new people in these forums and I think we need a poll to get some accurate numbers. So I hope the mods don't close it.
Two evenly matched heroes going toe to toe. Who wins?

I say a good fight here. But there will be a winner. Thing is tough and does not quit. He keeps on going. Look at his respect thread he has done some cool sh!t.

Thats just one artist rendision of THING and Wolvies claws... There are others that show him not being able cut through.
I think that Ben's fighting skill edge is greater than slight. Durabilty I will also give to Ben
(durabilty isn't just can you be cut or not or burned or whatever... It also means how much punishment can someone take in a fight without quiting.)
And that being said Ben's got beat Colossus 8 days a week. People may laugh but Ben's (HEART) means alot.
I'm willing to bet if there was a poll amongest Marvels hero's.
Who would you want to get your back in a life or death situation against whomever or whatever Ben or Peter? Outside of characters with an "X" by their team affiliation. The high majority of them would take Ben hands down... High 90's% is my guess.
Read what the Marvel editors have to say on their durabilty. To be honest it's not even close. But going by feats alone In Secret Wars Colossus took a blast from Dr. Doom that killed Thing, Thor, Hulk etc. Colossus's body was less mangled than the rest.
Thing takes it. No matter how equally they're matched (and I'd probably give durability and endurance to the Thing), at some point during the fight Peter remembers some traumatic memory from his past and goes all X-men angsty. While he's busy crawling into the fetal position from self-pity, Thing clobbers him then lights a cigar and heads off for a beer.
Thing is durable, but Colossus is about 7 times that. It takes Ben a day for him to tire. It takes Piotr 7. I'd say they're the same in strength, but I'd give speed to Piotr as well. Colossus takes this. (please log in to view the image)
Da tovarisch!
uhh, ya, anyways Thing get's ko'd in this fight. Unlike Colossus Thing has to breath so indurance goes to Colossus. Colossus also takes durability, I mean Thing can be cut up by Wolverine, and be ko'd by Juggernaut. Colossus gains speed and agility while in his steel form. Foghting skills to me are equal or Thing takes this slightly. Colossus takes the strength department, it's obvious. Ya Thing has heart, but who cares, heart will just get him killed.
And although Colossus has lasted longer than Thing against Juggernaut, Thing has lasted longer in the ring against Champion, so that's saying something.
Yea it says that Thing is a better boxer than Colossus was at that time. That match was taylor made for Thing. That's the way the writers wanted it. The other guys had nowhere near the boxing experience that Thing had.
