Let's look at Thanos' raw powers then:
Superhuman physical powers: Thanos possesses various superhuman powers, including the capacity to tap, transform, and direct vast quantities of cosmic energy for destructive force
Superhuman Mental Powers: Thanos has demonstrated psionic abilities, including telepathy, the limits of which are as yet unknown
Special Limitations: none
I think Thanos would be able to launch mental attacks that would weaken Gladiator's pysche, and Thanos would eventually win. I do think Gladiator would live to fight another day, however.

Precisely why I set this up as a scenario.
Ego is a helluva badass.
He almost rivals Galactus in power.
He is a living planet, with tremendous raw energy.
What Glad did to him dwarfed me and made me respect him much more.
Yes Thanos is just insanely powerful but he will have difficulty taking him down

Silver Surfer went inside ego, and did some internal damage. That doesn't change the fact that he got owned later on.
Yes I agree in physical power, or speed, he might even defeat Silver Surfer at his peak(in battle no radiation 🙂 )
But Thanos is one dude he isn’t beating (too many tricks, and raw power)
