He beats him any day now, but that's not how it always was. Loki rarely used his magic to his full power anyway against Thor, he was more interested in screwing with Thor's mind than actually taking him out. Plus you have to remember he was afraid of Daddy Odin 'grounding' him if he were to really unleash on Thor. Loki is certainly not omnipotent, but he has complete command over any and all spells and he's brilliant to top it off.

QFT. Loki is insanely intelligent, and has as much if not MORE raw magical power than strange does. There's no way he'd get into a brawl with manhunter. he'd take him out from a distance or via proxy.
Remember, Loki's spells were responsible for creating the Wrecker AND the Absorbing man. now imagine if he actually bothered to grant those powers to someone competent.
MM is out of his league with that one, I think.
