It's a cannon fact that Champion knows virtually every fighting style in the Universe, but you never really see that much from him, and Thanos strait up EMBARRASSED that guy h2h.

I don't think putting up a shield and convincing your opponent to destroy the planet counts as a H2H fight (especially when Thanos noted that Champion was similar to Hulk and that he didn't really want a physical confrontation with either)

All fighting except street brawling and being spastic is considered a MartialArt. Of the H2H fights I've seen Thanos in though I've only seen boxing or wrestling style movements.

But how many have you seen that he NEEDED anything more than Boxing/Wrestling style moves?

Would have been nice when he fought Gamora.

I meant before then. It would be one thing if Champion had managed to land a hit BEFORE Thanos stonewalled him with a forcefield, but Champion didn't land a single punch the ENTIRE encounter....

Nice....yes. Needed....obviously not.

True, Thanos doesn't need no special fighting skills, he's powerful enough as it is.

But that's not the question. The question is : how much of a hand to hand fighter is Thanos ? How are his fighting skills ?

Based on what I saw : nothing special.

He's impressive enough that the Champion couldn't land a single punch.

I don't think Champion landed a single punch on She Hulk either, however.

Get real. Half of the fight he was hiding behind his force fields, the second half he dodged a few punches.

Now be serious, that's NOT some amazing fighting skill. That's just dodging 😬

First lesson of every super hero : learn to dodge. I think an average super hero (or villain) has dodged at least hundreds of punches.

Thanos only in one fight. All together now : WOW !

I don't really remember, but that entire story's pretty messed so I don't know how seriously it should be taken. But if I HAD to accept it, I guess I could justify it because...

A. She Hulk's trained with Captain America.
B. She had special training FOR that match.
C. That was a boxing match, not a fight.

Actually, he fought first and then put up the forcefield(that's why the forcefield goes up in the last panel of the last scan I posted). And let's face it, what do you really NEED in a fight besides dodging and punching? If you're good at those things, then you're a good fighter.

By that logic, Spider-Man can be considered as one of the best fighters ever : he hits hard and fast, and is an excellent dodger.

But still, he isn't one of the best fighters however...

Does Spidey dodge through a Spidersense and Uber agility or does he dodge through skill?

His skill is based upon his reflexes, agility, spider sense and experience.

Nice try though 😉

See the Spidersense is what kills it for him. When you have a form of pre-cog, it really makes things like dodging easier.

However, if you're going to just factor ALL those things into Spideys fighting style then Spidey IS a highly skilled fighter because he's VERY adept at his fighting style. With his abilities he's able to go toe to toe with the greatest martial artist on the planet and walk away with the majority. So if all those things you listed are PART of his skill, then you have to admit that he is in fact, a VERY skilled fighter 😉 .

If you're saying that Spider-Man is a way better fighter than Thanos, I couldn't agree more.

After all, we've all seen Spider-Man in action lots and lots of times, and we can judge his fighting style. We can not say the same about Thanos.

Hey if everything Spidey's got going for him is counted as skilled, then he's arguably the most skilled person on Earth. He should take the logical majority against everyone from guys like Iron Fist, Daredevil, and Captain America all of whom are regarded as being the top martial artist on the planet. So what's your point anyway? That Thanos isn't as skilled as the most skilled person on the planet? I never said that Thanos WAS a better fighter than everyone on Earth, I pointed out that he DOES have combat skills because you were acting like he was a dunce when it came to h2h combat which is obviously not true because the Champion(who knows pretty much every fighting style in the Universe) couldn't land a hit on him.

I agree with most of your post, except the Champion part.

Champion is an idiot. He talks like an idiot, acts like an idiot and fights like an idiot. He's just lucky he's big, strong and tough.

Self proclaimed Champion of the Universe ? Must have been a pretty lame universe.

Whenever you see energy surrounding his fists, he's amped... As in, getting a bigger punch through the use of energy powers... That's what nvr Specified.

Also, Thanos had Morgs powers when he fought Tyrant... That's definatly amped.

Also...

BS. Thanos trained Gamora, and she's more skilled than anyone on Earth. And if you see their fight, it's obvious that he's just as skilled as she is, if not more.

And Champion was bumped down to 2nd tier martial artist in the ranking thread. That's below Batman, Wolverine and Iron Fist. 😉
