To be honest, Thanos would win after a long drawn out battle, but it would not be due to pimp slapping the Hulk. Thanos simply has more in his arsenal, and his ability to bfr opponents to West Bubbaphuck would insure his victory. These two would make for a truly nasty team. Well if they were of similar mindset and they're goals were the same.
Thanos does not want to turn this into a prolonged brawl, because he would not win the battle under these terms. The Hulk would heal, and continue to ramp up in power, while Thanos would be left in the dust. In order for Thanos to win, he would need to employ a plot device. For those of us that read it, we saw the Hulk go from not being able to save a planet one second, to being able to save it the next. He does not take long to reach the necessary strength that it would take to overcome incredible odds. He did in the past, but that was the past.
I am serious, and I don't think that it is a good idea for me and you to debate because I already know how it will devolve into an insult contest. I'm simply not up for it, these are fictional characters. Skaar is Banners son, and the mere fact that he did not outright destroy Skaar instead of pushing the child on his duff shows as much. I have two sons, and we have wrestled, but I would never think to go all out on my boys, because... well it wouldn't be the thing that a good parent would do. Banner's personality dictates that he also see's this. To expand on this Hiro was met with the same compassion in the last Hulk comic.
Not a good point to make Nihilist. We all saw that Banner only took his belt off with Skaar when he learned how Skaar had disrespected Caiera, his mother. The Hulk could have ended it at any time in that fight. People say Thanos vs Whomever, and it's an auto-win? No. Stating things like Thanos would have beaten Odin during his latest jaunt is pure BS, and speculation. Why would Thanos beat the current Hulk? This is what I need to know, I however will not be insulted for my views, so keep this in mind in your next posts.

The Surfer has only beaten the Hulk because of his power set, not because he is physically dominant. The Surfer power steals from the Hulk whenever they meet, and is able to amp at the same rate that the Hulk does. If the hulk were a magical being, and was able to increase in strength the way that he always has, he would crush Norrin. The Juggernaut of old would crush the Surfer if they ever met. Why is it that Thor does so well against the Surfer, but the Surfer makes the Hulk look helpless? Wait a sec... Hulk can take it to Thor but not the Surfer who Thor can beat? What happens if the Hulk could wreck Mar-Vell as easily as Thanos did?
One of those great comic book mysteries lol. Thor owns Norrin, Norrin owns Banner, Banner owns Thor lol! That shyte is written into Marvel bylaws I swear.
1) I know the Surfer beat the Hulk via power drain. However, even then (when the Surfer was being portrayed far weaker than he is now), the Hulk couldn't even hurt the Surfer due to his durability. This is not my point, tho and is irrelevant to this debate.
2) I do not ever see him crushing Norrin. They'd fight and it'd be a good fight, but Norrin's versatility would destroy him (BFR,
3) Thor would take it to current Hulk as well.
4) Thor beat Norrin decisively only once (during B&T) and many ppl can argue that Thor had an amp at the time and that the Surfer was holding back.
5) If Hulk could wreck Mar-Vell that way, then he'd be above the Surfer or Thor and equal to Thanos in power. I just don't ever see that happening at all. And even then, Thanos would just BFR him in 2 seconds.
You are to blame just as much as me for the flaming/bashing.
Fact is Skaars attack badly hurt Hulk, proving his is vulnerable. As i said Thanos energy is far beyond Skaars, he killed Drax in 1 shot, the avatar of death at the time Phyla Vell in 1 shot, easily beat the shit out of Lord Marvell who treated Surfer and Nova together like they was nothing(WWH never did that to guys of that caliber at once). Lord Marvel also killed Magus in 1 shot, they same Magus that had the power to destroy several (6 i think) planets at once, and not forgetting Thanos being able to kill guys in 2 shots in a universe where nothing can die.
Hulk has no way of harming or putting down Thanos, whilst Thanos has far more options, as we've seen Hulk can be hurt badly.
And i have never once said Thanos from TI would beat Odin so get you fact straight.
