In his diminished state, he most definitely lacks the power to face Thane. He does gain power beyond that diminished state that allows him to fight Thane, but it is not stated that this gain takes him beyond where he was before the sickness. The dialogue supports that it doesn't. This may change in the future, but at present, it appears that he is back normal.
Or simply Thane is a far weaker host than the previous one.
An ideal host for the Phoenix is usually a very strong psionic.

Good point. That is a strong possibility and has some support when Thanos tells him that he has no idea how to handle the power he wields. I can lean toward Thane being a less capable/weaker host.

Yep.
I'm almost certain that Cyclops with the full power of the Phoenix was stronger than Thane despite being weakest at base.

I doubt it.
Drax is sometimes endowed with abilities making him Thanos' true kryptonite.
Grail isn't weak either.

Could be. Doesn't Cyclops with the full power manhandle pre-crisis Darkseid? Or does that count?
Jean is the undesputed top dog as a Phoenix host. Thanos' against Thane does not equate to him against Jean.

Sort of seems that the Drax as Kryptonte has been forgotten. Kind of a shame because Giffen did good things with all of those characters.

Because the full Phoenix Force is coming for Jean Grey in her own series.

It's been stated that Phoenix Force is returning for Jean only.
A Phoenix egg doesn't makes one full host of Phoenix Force.

it seems that way. It’s not like we know the time line of either story’s ...or the fact the comic has stated countless time that he has the PF. Even makes a comment about the lvl of power he wields .

Why would that be downplaying Thanos? In fact I remember the same guys trying to excuse Thanos low showings in other titles saying Thanos is weakened in all those appearances.

last time he appeared to actually fly was in the arc with the cosmic cube. Him and death flew to where the cube was.

Could that also been death aiding him? Just throwing this out there not sure if it's the case but did the energy thanos just absorbed actually gave him the ability to fly? Or maybe artist liberties?
I like thanos more "grounded". Flying doesn't suit him in my personal opinion

The seemed be flying independently of each other.
IMO it was the artist taking liberties
