BAV and Carter are great examples of them backing the wrong side, but I can't remember a whole lot from IT other than him arguing for Thanos. And usually is far more reasonable than quanny.

How about making this simple and not using D&D rules to support what slugfest means? Going all out punching is what it should mean, while blocking when necessary. There is strong evidence to support Thanos' ability to react to anything Superman has, and absorb the blows with ease.
Exmples:
Galactus' Punisher units move with super speed which was shown when they assaulted the Inbetweener in space. Thanos dispatched a platoon of these units with ease.
Thanos' ability to shrug off punches from numerous foes (Thor with power gem, Silver Surfer blood lusted, Annihilus amplified well beyond what was seen during Annihilation) also shows his ability to absorb anything Superman has to throw at him.
Thanos wins this because he was made to take on a team of Superman level beings. That's just how it is. In a comic, Superman would need the Justice League to help him win against Thanos and it would have to be a win via BFR.
Superman is the highest of the bunch. So no, Thanos wasn't designed to take on a team of Superman level characters. He has been tooled by Thor and affected far too many times by Herald level characters and below to believe that. I do agree, however, he is as powerful as a high end Superman level character.
If blocking or evading is allowed, and taking turns isn't a must then Superman wins fairly easily. Thanos can't respond to a Superman punch. If he could then he would be able to move at the same speed as Superman, which he can't. Superman can easily respond to a Thanos punch since he would view him in super slow motion.
Now if they are taking turns without blocking or evading then this fight is close and can go either way depending on which versions we are using of both.
Hulk is the highest of the bunch. Besides that, Superman does well but he isn't pulling a single win here. People on Thanos level has made short work of him.
Superman is arguably stronger and a hell of a lot faster. Thanos isn't more than 2x more durable than Superman. If Superman hits Thanos 5 times for each time Thanos hits him then Superman would win easily. Thanos won't be able to react to Superman's punches while Superman can easily react to Thanos.
Superman is somewhat stronger than Hulk on average. The only versions of Hulk that can compare or exceed are WWH and WBH.
Thanos level in physicality in strength and durability is around Superman level (Superman's stronger and Thanos is maybe more durable).
People on Thanos level has dropped him with no issues at all. Also, I wouldn't say DCNU Superman is close to Thanos physically. I don't think Zod could break Thanos arm effortlessly and I sure as hell do not think Helspont could give Thanos a concussion with a pimp slap.
Naah, on average, Hulk shakes planets during his fights. No Herald has done this on more occasions than Hulk has. Not one. Hulk is the master of shaking earth during his fights.
