Agreed. We need more showings before we can say that Blue Marvel can deal with the full panoply of Thor's powerset.
That being said I think BM can take at least 2 out of 10 since Thor does tend to love a good brawl and BM did pretty much beat King Hyperion in a brawl.

No...Hyperion won the first part of the fight because BM's heart wasn't in it, and he realized that even as a hero, people were scared of him...he thought the whole thing was pointless. Then Hyperion threatened that girl, and it pushed BM over the edge. After that, he left Hyperion unconscious.
It's not a split if one guy gets beat because he's not trying, then he comes back and beats the other guy so bad he goes to sleep.
I wouldn't say BM wasn't trying in round one. You don't half-ass it against a guy like King Hyperion.
What did happen is that BM was able to tap into his heroic resolve (a very powerful force in fiction) and beat a superior opponent through sheer gumption and righteous fury.

I don't disagree with your reasoning, but since Hyperion certainly hurt BM, we know for a fact he's not above Thor in the true sense of the word. From there you can see Thor has every advantage over BM, so I don't see why its so important to give him some pitty wins over being able to hang against his opponent.
Thor is superior to BM as Captain is superior than Punisher in h2h. If Cap doesn't hold back, Punisher is beaten, period. Same here.
Like I said if its KH I've never been impressed with KH so its a decent feat for BM and what I would expect from KH going against a higher level person.
