If what you're getting at is that Odin did more damage than Thanos, you are right. Odin knocked The Mad Titan down, and maybe tore his clothes a little.
Neither participant went all out, but Odin did have his spear...or maybe it was his scepter...I'm leaving work as we speak so I'll run home and check it out but my point is he had something to channel his power. Thanos of Titan did not.

Thanos is more powerful than before after he fought Odin, even Odin stated that Thanos can tap into limitless source of power as himself. Odin was surprise how powerful thanos was, even adam warlock stated that thanos has never truly shown his true might, shows that Thanos to holds back and a battle with Odin wasn't his true attentions. If Thanos held his own against a skyfather, he can truly own his own against the Zeus. If this is on neutral battle filed thanos can win maybe half the battles, since he's gotten anther uprage from Death. This would be battle worth seeing.It's 50/50 out of Olympus
In Olympus it's in Zeus favor.
Except, Thanos was the one who looked like he had been run over by two locomotives by the end; Odin wasn't even breathing hard, and complemented Thanos on a great match. I give Thanos props for refusing to surrender and wishing to continue, but even Rocky refused to go down first time around against Apollo Creed, even though Creed was working him over badly. Just because someone continues to hang around in a fight doesn't mean they were ever winning, or even stalemating. Thanos is one of the most powerful cosmic beings, yet he is just below Skyfather level. I believe a fight with Zeus would go much the same.
Zeus and Odin may have differences in tapping their power. In Asgard, Odin speaks of being able to call all the energies of the Nine worlds - as the universe is conceived in their realm/pocket dimension - for his use if neccessary. How Zeus derives his power from Olympus could be different. Not as wide a base?
Why do people always say Odin wasn't going all out or was taking it easy against Thanos? From his own dialogue in the fight its clear that wasn't the case.
Anyway is this isn't in Olympus it could be really close and Thanos could win a few. In Olympus he'd put up a great fight but probably eventually Zeus would take it, although I'm not exactly sure how much Zeus and Odin differ in power levels.
I'm hoping Annihilation shows Thanos to be even more powerful now as he'd had time to study and use Fallen One's black matter which is an infinite power source.
I believe that Zeus is in fact weaker than Odin, Zeus fought Thor, and although he clearly had more power than Thor, it wasn't by leaps and bounds they were nearly even... however when Odin fought Thor he tossed him around like a paper weight, even knocking him out... no I don't have scans, but the comic does exist. I think Thanos will take this.
Well Zeus did beat Thor...he's a skyfather remember. But Thor did get Zeus respect.
Back to fight, Zeus will win this i believe he has more raw power than Thanos. Thanos is not way below Skyfather, he's a notch below thats all. Thanos need lots of prep time to beat Zeus on Olympus. in Olympus Zeus 7/10
Neutral ground it's Zeus 6/10 all this is without prep time
"When 2 combatants go at it and neither kills, KO's, renders the other unconcious, or is able to remove the other from the field of battle whether it be by teleportation, banishment to another realm, etc, I would consider that a stalemate."
A stalemate is when two show to be even. That fight made cut clear who was the best. Thanos only lasted as much due to durability, not power.

The Zeus/Thor fight wasent a stalemate either. In no part of it does Thor looks "nearly equal" by the simple fact that he doesnt do a -single- thing to Zeus, was beaten down easily and Zeus even stated he wasent going for the kill.

Well the only argument I can see for Thanos holding back would be they needed Odin's help in healing Thor so he wouldn't want to incapacitate him to badly anyway.
Personally I don't think either held back, its clear from Odin's comments Thanos had given him an awesome fight and he hadn't taken it easy.
well he sure was trying harder then odin, odin didnt even look like he was trying, he looked like he was messing with an insect who was trying to act all tough against a being of greater power, even before the fight with odin and thanos, odin knocked out surfer easily, and knocked out thor as well who had been womping surfer, drax and all guys like that even adam warlock i believe, thanos was just standing there getting hit and getting up then getting hit and getting up odin wasnt even trying in my opinion.
