Now i know a lot of you have read the Watchmen and know how powerful this guy is. Can Thanos defeat him, or will nobody reply to this thread because its not about Marvel street level characters or the incredible Hulk. ?

We don't know enough about Dr. Manhattan - his powers were impressive, but not very well defined.

I believe his powers over matter manipulation are greater than Thanos's but i maybe wrong.
I suppose he could Teleport him into a Super massive Black Hole or a Quasar. I doubt even Thanos could survive in either of those.

I'm not sure if that is possible as [SPOILER - highlight to read]: towards the end of Watchmen, Jon began to experience time nonlinearly. Meaning that he would know what Thanos was going to do before Thanos does (assuming, of course, Dr. Manhattan chooses to act on this knowledge). And I think it was at least implied that at the end of Watchmen, Jon had reached godhood, literally
I'd go with Dr. Manhattan 10/10 (although he doesn't have nearly as many feats)

How can you out think an opponent who can, in a way, predict the future ? Dr. Manhattan seemed to live in the past, present and future at the same time.

Supermassive balck holes arent your run of the mill planet destroying black holes, they literally hold galaxies together. Its like comparing a anti tank shell with a meagaton nuclear war head. I doubt Thanos could get out of a Super massive black hole.

Yes, that's a major difference there. The only thing about Jon is, even though he can see the future coming, he hardly acts on his knowledge and goes with the flow instead. He'd let things happen to him as an experiment, because he is even harder to kill than Thanos, probably. His mind is preoccupied with such larger matters, it's not easy to motivate him to fight. But, with that motivation, he could defeat Thanos more often than not.

the point is he'd know thanos every move if he saw a totally live threatning thing comming i would hope he didnt let thanos get away with it, and no galaxy holding black holes thanos would not servive it, your thinking smaller black holes there is a diffrence, anyway thanos loses this sorry.

And yet, Dr. Manhattan wound up being manipulated by Adrian Veidt. He did exactly as Veidt wanted him to; he joined his point of view, in the end. Thanos's intellect far exceeds Veidt's. The Mad Titan is more than capable of bending Jon's will to his own.
I should mention that Dr. Manhattan is neither omnipotent nor omniscient. He could experience time nonlinearly, but he was still interpretting what he experienced through a basic, human intellect. Thanos has beaten beings with vastly more powerful intellects.
Dr. Manhattan is a lightweight in comparison to Thanos.
Doc. Manhattan had, as far as I know, complete or almost complete control over molecules and atoms. Basically, he could turn a gun into a flower and so.
He could also teleport wherever he wanted, and it's well in his possibilities to teleport Thanos to the heart of a sun. Doc. Manhattan had also super human strength, could turn himself into a giant, could see into the future, is nearly impossible to kill and is also very smart. Oh, he could also duplicate himself.
The reason Adrian manipulated him, was because he was planning it for a loooong time and because he knew Manhattan like the palm of his hand and because he was messing with Manhattans head so he couldn't see the future anymore.
But still, in the end Adrian failed.
(I read somewhere that there exists a theory that Doc. Manhattan, who left Earth to create a new mankind, would be "The Source" of the DC universe. This is of course nonsense, but it tells us something about his powers.)
