KK would defeat Thanos 10/10 in H2H combat, KK fought and defeated the PC JSU, he also foughted and bested PC Superboy in combat.He could find a weakness to anything regardless of if it was human, alien, mechanical, energy based, he was able to mysticaly sense and pin point the weak points of a beings existance.
He held his own against Superboy for only a brief period of time. Thanos is a master in HTH combat skills, Karate Kid only has 30th century skills. Thanos is over 10,000 years old and travelled all over the universe for 80 years to fight people just to learn to have better hand to hand combat skills. He went to every dark, nasty place he could find, just to learn better skills at fighting. He has fight experience many times how old Karate kid is in terms of years.
To top it off, even if Karate Kid were to damage an internal organ, Thanos has the ability to manipulate his body on the molecular scale, so he could have the body part repaired and altered within minutes, thus eliminating the weak spot.
Superboy may have been incredibly strong and durable, but he was just an average joe when it came to fighting, he didn't even need to develop much fighting skill, he relied on his powers to hold his own. Thanos is a trained fighter, and has fought every class of being including lesser cosmics such as in-betweener, even was able to dodge every attack the Champion launched at him. He made an elder of the universe look like a fool in hand to hand, we're talking someone with 5 to 10 billion years experience in hand to hand combat!
