     As to stronger, yes Ranma is. Ranma is shown to lift stuff which is
close to 15 tons in the manga. He is faster (with a mach 3 chestnut fist).

	This is one point I wish people would remember more often.  Canonical 
Ranma has at _least_ Spider-Man level superhuman powers.  His strength, 
speed, and endurance are _far_ above those of an unaugmented mortal.

vs. Ranma debate...

Just wondering, on a side note, where this would put Ryouga on the scale.
It's been established that, though Ranma excells in speed and technique,
he's never surpassed Ryouga in terms of pure brute strength and endurance.
Remember, though Ranma _can_ use Ryouga's umbrella as a weapon, Ryouga can
propell the thing several hundred yards through the air while at the same
time inducing enough rotational force to get it to come back to him. Also,
Ryouga's bakusai tenketsu training gives him skin tough enough to fend off
a shrapnel grenade.
