Wut? His fighting style consisted of seting his hands on fire and making large slow punches.

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

How many times has Thanos displayed ACTUAL skill? I mostly see him using basic punches and kicks.

It's not the QUANTITY of skill you use, it's the QUALITY.

It should still be more than twice.

How many instances can you think of that Thanos actually NEEDED to use any real skill? He's got more than enough durability to take even the high ended herald level heroes best hits without missing a beat, and they've been his primary opponents so why should he jump around dodging like they're any kind of real threat?

Well what are we even arguing about? Minus amping this fight is a cakewalk for Thanos.

That's what I've been saying for a long time. I'm not arguing he does not possess some decent fighting skills, but we have never seen them.

You dont see Thanos fight for the same reason you dont see Dr. Doom fight, its just not in his character. When he has gone to h2h he has generally either beaten or held to a draw some of the best fighters out there. When you can fire blasts from your hands that are capable of knocking Galactus down, a knuckle sandwich generally isnt your first line of attack.
On a side note, Dr. Doom proved to be a pretty damn impressive hand to hand fighter, so dont count something out simply because they dont do it every appearance.

Some people just don't get it. The question is : Does Thanos possess decent fighting skills, and if yes, where can we see Thanos using these fighting skills.

The fact that Thanos doesn't really need fighting skills, has nothing to do with this question.

Well, it's possible that while he does possess knowledge of fighting skills, he's just incapable of performing them himself due to his heavy physical build.
