Outside of Asgard and w/o Gungnir, either Thanos opens up a can of whoop ass or they stalemate...again. Inside Asgard odin's not only more powerful but also omniscient. Outside he'd be about equivalent to Grandmaster.

The fact he was standing at the end (smoking albeit) is a good durability feat also considering Odin 1 hit SS.
He was on the ground and smoking. His body was clearly in a bad shape. Thanos can heal himself from these kinds of injuries and thats exactly what he did although it took a while and only happened because Odin stopped and asked him if he was ready to give up. Given that Thanos was practically face down when Odin decided to be merciful and stop how can anyone possibly interpret this as a stalemate? A stalemate is when neither party can gain an advantage. Odin had the advantage and then some. And he hadn't even tapped into the full Odin Power which can effortlessly take out entire galaxies. In comparison Thanos, Thor, etc. are insects.
Ok, I have always been under the Impression that Odin was somewhere in the ball park of Tyrant's power lvl. Being able to give Big G a hell of a fight and maybe pull off a couple wins due to his power being magic and all. I argued vehemtly that Thanos being able to stand up to Odin was pure crapola but every seems to think this was a feat for Thanos and the fight was not PIS. This puts me in a perplexing situation. Do I now think that Odin is less powerful than I previously thought? In a full on battle where Odin was told that he would have to utterly kick the crap out of Thanos or Asgard would be destroyed by the LT, would Odin be able to beat Thanos? And the LT has put a time limit on the fight. Odin has 3 minutes. Could he do it?
Odin both outside or inside of Asgard, takes this fight.
Odin didn't went all out cause he knew his power would shred the golden city and his inhabitants.Thanos got up and wasn't looking good.He survived the fight and that's a feat, but Odin pulled out Gugnir cause he found Thanos worthy and cause he use it to focus and channe his power better, probably to avoid massive destruction blasting here and there.None of Thanos attacks affected Odin.He managed to stand up in an act of courage, but the truth his he was done.With Tyrant, same thing, he got up, he was also empowered for a while from one of the energy globes and survived.Did Tyrant went all out as well?No.Cause his citadel would have been destroyed totally as well as for Asgard.When he decided to correct the situation of Thanos existance, Thanos teleported.He knew he would die.

I agree.
What Thanos did was incredibly impressive, and an incredible feat. With that said, I still don't think Thanos can stand up to Odin.
Odin's greatest feats outside of Asgard were his multiple galaxy destroying fights, one with Forsung the Enchanter and the other with Seth (it was the third fight between the two, the one where Thor's v1 became retitled Journey into Mystery again). Also there is the Infinity Saga where a shard of Odin was consuming and mindraping the entire 616 universe and then he undid the damage.
Of course there was dead Odin casually creating a solar system in thor v2, that was issue 60 or so. So this probably puts dead Odin above Thanos too.
Gungnir is not Odin's most powerful weapon/item. The Odinrod is. And these items serve to focus Odin's power so that he may control the side effects.
We did not see Odin go all out because Asgard was still there when he was done.
