I go by either lifting feats, hitting feats, or wrestling feats to prove the stronger. Mangog has no lifting, hitting, or wrestling feats that put him above Superman in strength. Being stronger than Thor doesn't mean you are stronger than Superman. And durability necessarily has nothing to do with strength. For example, Juggs is more durable than Gladiator and can withstand Thor's blows as well as Mangog can. But is Juggs stronger than someone who can pissingly 3 shot a planet at his best?
Are you saying that Superman has no low strength feats? Come on.
Thanos has nary any lifting feats as well. I would still bet on him against the hulk. Being stronger than Thor doesn't make one stronger than Superman necessarily, but being Thor's dominant physical superior establishes Mangog's own physical level, and said level is a lot higher than Superman's own physical level, as established by his average feats.
Durability has nothing to do with strength, but it has a lot to do with how a physical confrontation would pan out.
