You shown none. Was it you that said when Thor hit Mangog he KOed him? Thor was still able to hit him right (before he got koed)? If so then that is all Gladiator should be able to hit him first too or rather throw him first from behind.
The thing is, a punch or in this case a hammer, only delivers about a second or less of contact.
A grab, and a throw delivers more, which if he tried, would make him very capable of being KO'ed.
And, if Thor can't effect Mangog, then Glads is doing nothing with a punch.
Ignore the proof if you want, I really don't care.

This is debatable here. As marvel has tried to show the true potential of Gambit. And the grid has nothing to do with better energy projection, just unlimited command over [B]all forms of energy. One can have better energy projection with just one type of energy discharge over another with multiple types of energy discharge. And as far as I know there are two forms of energy (potential and kinetic) in which Gambit has (or had) complete command over. But maybe Thanos is a 7 too (depends on whether he has unlimited command over the potential type of energy).With that said,
if comics contradict a character's official bios then it is the comics that should be used as proof and not the bios. So when has the comics contradicted Mangog's speed with his bios? And don't tell me because he hit Thor. For people slow as **** hit Thor before (even hit Spiderman too).[/B]
Um... Thanos controls more energy than him though, so that's nothing...
Also, Iron Man is more durable than Thanos too according to Marvel...
Ya know, not everything is based off of running/travel speed. Otherwise, Surfer would be one of the toughest opponents in the forum, and not even Glads with all his flaunted speed would hit him.
Now, the thing is, Mangog's reaction/punching speed has proven to be dangerous. If Recorder can't follow his punches, then Glads is going to have a hell of a time dealing with it, if he gets close.
Also, Thor has outright said, that he takes it easy on people he fights. Never wanting to really hurt someone. In relation to the Spider-Man comment.
With Mangog, he has no such problem, and he has no restrictions. Whether Spider-Man, or Mangog hits him, is also hardly relevant to the discussion.
What is though, is this:
Within seconds, Thor was a mud puddle, that couldn't fight back... so ya. Mangog, is fast.
Also, Mangog was able to intercept Thor's hammer when it was already traveling at his head.

Thanks for backing me up here. As long as the Gladiator is able to do it and also since he has attempted this tactic before then it thus proves that it is in his character to try this. Thus Gladiator will speed blitz a throw in at super speed. And know that it is to the [B]best of his ability to use his speed blitz. [/B]
You of course realize what in-character means, don't you?
Also, Gladiator, has speedblitzed Thor. Masterson Thor... and it wasn't even really a speedblitz, more of a Quicksilver dash punch.
Now, going by your earlier statement, Spider-Man has hit Thor, correct of course.
Spider-Man though, has like Glads, blitzed a Masterson Thor (human turned God, not much experience, that whole deal).
Is it really that great of a feat, compared to a being of Mangog's capacity? Not really.
Hell, his forward travel speed, was intercepted by Wonder Man.
Which, oddly enough, also looks like his so-called "speedblitz".
*important to note, how he actually gets mounted by Masterson, right after the initial attack*
Now, if he tries that on Mangog, he's going out, and down for the count.
Also, all your explanations are fine and dandy, but what is obvious, is how you ignored the in-character portrayal of characters on the forum.
Either way, if Gladiator blitzes in every fight, it still doesn't make him capable of taking out Mangog.
Another important note, which I won't rub in Glad's face with scans, was that after Thor was able to stun him, he actually had Gladiator not able to fight back, through attacks (which are far slower than Mangog's) from his fists, and hammer. He then took him down, and had to be stopped, so he wouldn't kill him.

"a lot" is insignificant. All it takes is once to show that it is in a character's personality. And Gladiator has speed blitzed more than once.
Twice? Out of a 30 or so year history...
Plus, I've already showed how irrelevant that is, so I fail to see why it is clung to, so dearly.
Plus, a speedblitz by Glads, even if it worked, would hardly do anything anyway.
The only hope Glads has, is throwing him, which, a little bit of contact Thor connected on Mangog, had him knocked out, so... ya.
Also, if Glads tried to speedblitz, he would risk getting hit, and since he can't damage Mangog really, the risk becomes all that much more deadly. Now, this is of course, ignoring how fast Mangog can deliver a finishing blow, but even with normal speed, it's not like Glads has delivered a Superman-esk, or Spider-Man-esk blitz. He never dodged, he just went in head first and punched.
Which, will most likely end up with him getting his head merging with the ground.
