I think I do, and the many times he has nearly been killed, or destroyed. Are you going to say "At full power he could destroy the universe ten times over!" Because he has yet to show he can do this, aside from word of mouth from the watcher. Even at full power I wouldn't give it to him overt the likes of SBP, because when Galactus attacks or defends or does anything using his energy he is draining, he is constantly draining even when doing nothing thus why he needs to consume planets and or energy of a sustainable level just to stay alive and or exist.
Even if SBP is not Galactus equal in sheer power, which I do think he could be and or even surpass Galactus at full power, in a drawn out fight I think Galactus would be drained and depleted to the point where he dies from lack of energy and or dies from SBP.

You bring up some good points. We've never seen a full-powered Galactus, so we can only speculate how powerful he is. We don't know if the Watcher was actually serious or if he was just using hyperbol. Until we actually see what he's capable of, I say we stop putting a full powered Galactus into threads all together. At least with Sentry, we have a little bit to gone on, but with a full-powered Galactus, we have next to nothing other than words.
Well, let's do a comparison:
Superboy prime can push planets.
Galactus eats them.
Connor Kent was able to draw blood from Superboy Prime
Galactus made Superman his b*tch.
Superboy Prime is afraid of Darkness.
Galactus was faced with his demise and still wasn't scared.
To be honest, I could go on forever, but let me put it this way:
Galactus creates creatures like Tyrant, Siver Surfer, and so forth with ease. His power, even when severely weakened, is enough to drive off anyone. Check this out:

Read the whole thing. It's only the tip of the iceberg, but it's still awesome.
I do think of Galactus as not being very energy efficient for combat. I think SBP is very efficient in what he does, breaking, shattering, overcoming, and flat out boxing, unbreakable, unbeatable, invincible, objects, forces of nature, universal rules and walls (speed force, negative zone, paradise, source wall). I think SBP has a tendency for breaking, smashing and pounding holes through comic rules and continuity.
If you would like to bring up those momments when SBP is hurt, not defeated but hurt, which to what I know has only been once by connor, and that is speculated to be because that would be Connors last showing due to the court case DC lost; which SBP after proceeded to shatter connors hand and kill him. Then I feel I should mention a couple of the times Galactus was given a black eye or two.
1. Invisble man with the FF has completely drained Galactus of all his energy before, reducing him to a empty suit.
2. The elders of the universe nearly killed Galactus when Galactus devoured them and they reformed inside of him, they then began to have a party inside of him by dancing on his innards.
3. Reed Richards has scared off Galactus before with one of Galactus own inventions.
4. Thor with the Godblast has sent Galactus retreating.
Also
1. SBP can push planets as well as break through the negative barrier.
2. SBP can escape from the speedforce.
3. SBP can effect DC, merely by pounding on the force wall.
Okay, good for Superboy prime, but he hasn't shown anything impressive enough to make anyone say that he can defeat Galactus. Galactus at full power is nearly incomprehensible as to how powerful he is. By saying Superboy Prime can kill him is saying that Superboy prime is more powerful than this:
In the Galactus: The Devourer limited series (1999-2000), Galactus was killed after a battle against the united forces of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Starjammers, the Shi'ar Empire and an armada of other united planets (including even a Kree starship). He died with an ominous warning that his death would allow a great evil to surface. After his death, Galactus' true form was revealed, that of a star.
That great evil emerged in Fantastic Four Annual 2001 in the form of Abraxas, an entity that was the antithesis of Eternity. It was revealed that most of the energy that Galactus takes from planets was devoted to keeping him imprisoned. If released Abraxas would destroy the universe... but eventuaily Galactus will devour the universe... so it's just a slower process. Abraxas was only defeated after it was revealed in Fantastic Four (vol. 2) #49 ([vol. 1] #478; January 2002) that Galactus was still alive. Roma, Franklin Richards, and Valeria Von Doom had been incubating Galactus within Eternity.
That was Galactus when he was severely weak as well. There is no substantial evidence toward Superboy Prime beating Galactus at all. Ever. He wouldn't come close. He'd get his molecules dispersed before you can say "Bob's your uncle" so this thread is pointless. It's just full of DC fanboyisms that are just ridiculous.
I have yet to see a feat by Galactus that makes convinces me he can destroy the universe ten times over at full power. Abraxas, hmm well he isn't Galactus, Galactus is like a locked door, when he is destroyed, then the door is open and Abraxas can walk through. To say if SBP kills Galactus then Abraxas would come, if you want to do a two vs two then a appropriate thread could be made with.
So many exscuses made for Galactus as to why he was weak, point being Galactus has been defeated multiple times by people ranging from all over the power spectrum. Galactus has yet to show on panel that he can destroy the universe ten times over at full power, he has yet to show how strong he is at full power, the only on panel showing which tells of Galactus at full power is when the watcher said Galactus at full power could destroy the universe ten times over, which is only a watcher's word which is debatable and arguable, if we take everything we read in comics in truth then going by that, Spiderman saying Sentry stalemated Galactus is also true then.
Instead of claiming that this thread is filled with fanboyism and thus that is why I and others think SBP would defeat and or kill Galactus at full power, show some solid evidence that Galactus at full power is more then just hot air.
I do not mean to be disrespectful to you in any way, and I am sorry if I have been.
No no no......SPB cannot beat Galactus. Ok first of all SPB fights people on earth mainly heros..who has he beat that is a real big player?
All this talk about Punching the phantom zone,escaping speedforce,blah blah blah. That means nothing. Flash has been shown to outrun death but can he beat Galactus nope. Scarlet Witch's chaos wave reached the White Hot Room but can she beat Galactus nope. There have been so many instances where your average joe smo hero has done the impossible doesnt mean they now can contend with a cosmic.
Galactus fought In betwener
Galactus fought Tyrant
Galactus fought Phoenix
Galactus fought celestials
so on and so on
Who has SPB fought on those levels?
Galactus is so much more than Prime. At best, SBP is a member of the Superman family, so that automatically labels him as a brute character. Galactus once sent the Black Nebula Galaxy across the universe with a thought. The difference in power is immeasurable. Galactus is to SBP, what Spectre is to Superman.
That much of a stomp this is. I have never even seen one legit defense against Galactus simply devolving him to an amoeba. Precrisis Kryptonians aren't the end all they're made to be on this board. For all their high showings, they'd have ten low ones. Fluctuation anyone??
If this was Thanos, then i'd give SBP odds of 7/10.
Galactus?? Third force of the universe Galactus?? His victory 100/5.
Unless you think a speedblitz truly matters in battles between the upper echelons of the cosmic god tier, he loses everytime and instantly as well.
