Wonderman vs. Gladiator
Like it or not. If you approve of Wondermans character or not, this is the fight of his life. This is the fight he was made to face. It's almost his purpose for being in the Marvel Universe.
All bets off, if Wonderman is uber pissed off/focused, I think he would take it. Wonderman's stamina and durability will come into play, and the longer this fight goes, the more the Gladiator will doubt himself, thus weakening him, not mention Wonderman's virtually tireless body. 2 to 1 For Wonderman as the victor.
Since Wonderman's a mass of living energy, he has unlimited endurance and is invulnerable. However Gladiator can take his lumps, and that self doubt thing doesn't really happen all that often, he really needs to be caught off guard, and fighting Humans, he's learned to steel himself. He also has the advantage in speed and distance attacks (eye beams). Though I think Simon has demonstrated his ability to absorb, manipulate and redirect energy for blasts and such, he's not all that experienced and can't do it readily, or even realiably all the time.
I think Wondy can take it, but I have to lean my favor more towards Gladiator.

The first two to chim in are the respective comic gurus. nice to meet you guys. This fight is not only for earth but for the entire Universe. Weather or not WE will be governed.
Can even Wonderman stand up to that kind of pressure?

I saw scans once of Wonderman surviving, almost unharmed, an explotions that destroyed several solar systems. I haven't read the issue so I don't know much... except Wonderman looked old. Does anyone know the issue I'm talking about?

Sorry, can't help you. Though after dying like three times, his ionic powers have changed and matured to such that he's truly immortal now. It takes a lot to hurt him.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Wonderman was suffering from power fluctuations at the time IIRC.
Plus he couldn't fly under his own power then. And when he appeared a few minutes later he was totally unscathed from all of that, he was merely trapped due to lack of mobility.
Anyway, in summary, Gladiator gets choked out like the ***** he is.
wow. poor Simon, getting suckered while trying to talk.
Well, at least we know now that he is faster than Gladiator, by the bottom of that second scan. Or, more accurately, almost as fast, since he was able to adjust to Gladiator's attack.

When he goes all sparkly blue, that's usually treated like some kind of upgrade. "Ionic upgrade", they call it.
But I'm not expert on Wonder Man.
I do know in his first appearance, his punches were also said to hit as hard of Mjolnir... But he also couldn't really hurt Thor or knock him out with a sucker punch, only managing to topple him.

Crazy thing about you trying to make Wonderman look amazing against Glads is, WM during that fight admitted Gladiator could have taken his head off with a single punch. Good try though.
