I believe mjolnir, wielded properly (by a writer who isn't stupid) is what gives Thor the edge over nearly any opponent below a skyfather or celestial. Give him the whole arsenal - belt of strength DOUBLES his might, plus iron gloves - and I think he can win, even against pre-crisis Superman. Both have great versatility, but magic properties of the hammer will help win it for Thor.

It's pre crisis Supes, but Thor is wearing his Belt of Strength (which increases his strength immeasureably) and Iron Gloves (which basically make mjolnor more a part of him than it already is. I say real tough fight, could go either way.
I believe "immeasurably" is actually "twice as strong". As someone else said, meaningless against a being that sneezes out suns and moves galaxies.

All these claims of PC Supes - he could juggle planets, his sneeze could destroy a system - makes for nice hyperbole, but how about some facts/scans/quotes for a change. Until then, it's exaggeration. Otherwise, PC Superman should've been able to take down the Anti-Monitor alone.
Because his power levels changed to fit the needs of the story. Trust me, even as Superboy he moved a galaxy. The "sneezing out a star" scan shows up every once in a while posted by someone who hates Superman just to show how ridiculous his power levels got. He was even doing things like throwing people so fast he threw them through time.

He sneezed a solar system. He's never moved a galaxy. Please post scans for proof otherwise or provide a link where you can prove this.
Sneezing galaxies is great and all, but PC Supes struggled against He-Man. Thor with the belt and gauntlets is waaaay Stronger, with magical projectile attacks that can punk supes from a distance.
Thor can also BFR them both into a red sun for an insta-win, here. PC superman's weaknesses were even worse than current's, imho
