IMHO, Zeus. I realize he doesn't have as much showings as Odin but what we have on panel is sufficient to gauge his power.
1) In the first Asgard/Olympus war, Zeus and Odin met in the shadows exchanged a glance and went about their way. It was implied they were equal.
2) This was all but confirmed on panel when they "argued", with weapons drawn and everything, over how to handle the Serpent. The only way that fight was stopped was when the other SKyfathers put their foot down and took Odin's side.
3) He was curbing the Avengers, the only time they looked good against him was when Dane used the Ebony Blade to redirect Zeus' blast against him. Then he threatened him with the Blade to Zeus' throat. This is hardly a low showing since that Blade has KILLED skyfather level beings before.
4) In their first encounter, Zeus trashed Thor. He even stopped Mjolnir mid-flight and held it for a second. Look at all the crap Mjolnir has done over the years (even recently) and you'll see how this is a beastly feat. Hell, 'unworthy' Odin couldn't lift the damn thing.
There's probably more I'm missing. To anyone bringing up the "spear" incident, need I remind you Odin and all Asgard were owned by a colony of Space Ants. Everyone has low showings.

Zeus held his own with Zuras? That's got to count for something.

HOw is this, my Point 2, not a valid showing of power? (please log in to view the image)
Odin couldn't end it resulting in the other skyfathers stepping in to restore order. I wish I had the scan where this was mentioned on panel.

^ I understand, but a single splash-page in which Mephisto talks about their 'argument' is not a fight/feat that can be appropriately quantified, imo. That's all I'm saying.
Odin failing to lift his own creation and getting his ass knocked around by Jane Thor is just as bad, if not worse. Both of these incidents happened more recently than 2011.

That was a retcon, though. The hammer is really a galaxy sized sentient super storm locked in Uru, that Odin fought for a long, long time.
Which brings up a lot of questions, like what happened every time Mjolnir broke. Not to mention, what this means for Stormbreaker..
