I think Zeus beats him handily. Also Zeus no longer ages, while old man Odin is still aging even if it's very slowly. All hell I think Zeus walks the dog with him.
Naah, I don't bait. Honestly... Odin is a beast physically and power output wise. I just wanted to know how the fight would go and Rage is a good person to get an argument for Odin.
So can anyone tell me why exactly they're giving Zeus the win? Because he beat the shit out of the Hulk? We can play the feat game but not long into the discussion people will be b*tching about Odin having more appearances etc. I'd bet good money on one or more double standards being employed.
The gap is closer now than it probably ever was but Odin is on an entirely different level overall. I can accept Zeus rivaling the everyday Odin -his weakest form- but that's where the comparison ends.
Assuming they're equals, Odin wins on superior fighting skill if nothing else.
I think because he is greek. Wrestling should be more common and in style for him then for Odin. While Odin as a norse/viking God is more of an weapon expert to me. The same reason why I would give Hercules the slight majority in h2h against Thor but give Thor the win in a weapon fight, not to mention the vast majority in an all out fight.

And no, Hercules wouldn't get the majority over Thor in hand to hand. You think Hercules is slightly more skilled because of one showing? Okay, Thor's stat advantages trump the skill advantage.
How much power does Odin get access to? The entire Odin Force? People usually limit Odin in threads with Zeus. That should in itself tell you how they match up but whatever.
The weakest being Odin has struck is probably Thor. Of course, I could use Odin one shotting Surfer and Drax as the All Father can channel his energy in anyway he sees fit so it's all relative. I don't want to use feats that are too high up there. Simply no selling a punch from Thanos is a greater show of strength and durability than anything Zeus has done.
Strength and durability. Probably speed and stamina as well but those would be hard to prove.
