Thanos has to close his fist in order to use the gauntlet or snap his fingers in order to use the gauntlet whereas Manhattan can explode Thanos with a thought
speed of thought >>>>>>> speed of hand
on top of that we know that Thanos is still vulnerable even with the gauntlet because Stormbreaker almost killed him.
and for those saying he could utilize the reality or time stones i ask you haw can he do that if he's instantaneously turned into a blood stain?
manhattan can be killed a thousand times, and manhattan #1001 will appear and yawn.
i don't know the full ability of the gauntlet, maybe it can shield thanos from being exploded by doc, but maybe not.
maybe it can be used to eliminate doc's total self, probably not (iirc he shares an existence across the universe on another plane of existence, and thats why he can travel and easily reproduce his physical self so many times like that)

Manhattan. As many have already said, speed of thought > speed of thought to close a fist to activate a specific stone or set of stones. Also, Manhattan can simply reform himself if he gets blown up, as we have seen in Watchmen.
As far as the argument of "Jon can't change his future even though he can see it, so if he saw his future self losing to Thanos, he'd always lose," then there is no purpose in making this thread. It's Manhattan with his full capabilities vs Thanos with his IG and his full capabilities. Under the thread's stips, Manhattan is the winner.
Thor cheapshotted him. Thor acts much quicker than Manhattan as well. Thanos hits him as quick as he blasted Drax. Manhattan submits. Slooowww Manhattan.
Thanos has to clench his fist, raise his hand and shoot. Manhattan only has to raise his hand (if that), and he has far superior reflexes, plus sees the future.
