nah he just jogged my memory on how easily he was beaten... SBP has heart, the eye of the tiger and for those reasons ALONE he wins. No point in even bringing SBP's other skills.

He wouldn't stop to talk, because they are under the effects of forum bloodlust. 🙂.
Super boy prime eradicates Thanos with heat vision alone.

This fight is a lot closer than some of you think it is.
Superboy prime is definitely faster than a default thanos is. He's nowhere NEAR as fast as the Runner with the space gem. Let's clear that up immediately. with the gem, runner's speed had no practical limit whatsoever. He was as fast as he needed to be.
As Thanos doesn't really seem to have a problem reacting to heralds (surfer for one, fallen one for another) who typically move and react well in excess of light speeds and easily on flash levels, a blitz isn't immediately going to result in a win. If this WAS a viable tactic, then everyone who wanted to take thanos out would have simply blitzed him to death. When characters capable of light+ speeds can't or won't use that against him, it speaks volumes.
Secondly, Thanos' force fields are easily capable of holding back SBP. Champion (with the power gem) was punching with enough force to one shot a planet into dust and STILL couldn't break Thanos' shields. If SBP was hitting THAT hard on a regular basis, then connor kent and the various flashes would have been dead in microseconds. He wasn't.
Third: Thanos is an Eternal. The board frequently overlooks this but all eternals, even the weakest ones have total control over their entire molecular structure. His speed, strength, durability, etc are all subject to amplification IF he wishes to do so- (much like surfer is able to with the power cosmic.) for example the eternals rendered themselves permanently immune to the effects of blastaar's energy attacks just by SAYING SO back in Avengers #310. Weaker eternals focus their abilities into a single stat- makkari emphasizes speed over all else (he's light speed levels, last I checked) sersi concentrates on matter manipulation at the expense of strength/speed...Starfox has powerful psychic abilities (sort of..he's kinda the oddball eternal) but has no energy/matter manipulation abilities to speak of..Thanos eclipses the abilities of all other eternals by a great margin and doesn't have that liability.
Per odin whatever power source Thanos has been tapping into is "as limitless as his"...meaning at least skyfather levels of energy. Odin is sitting on a crapload of power- easily dwarfing SBP by an order of magnitude, and certainly enough for Thanos to increase his strength, durability, whatever to comparable levels.
Finally- superboy prime doesn't have anywhere NEAR the combat ability or intelligence Thanos has. Thanos well written wouldn't charge in and start throwing punches- he's throw up some shields then begin analyzing his opponent for weaknesses, and SBP most certainly does have well known exploitable weaknesses.
I wouldn't give Thanos a majority, but I'd say he definitely has the resources and experience to split the wins. 4.5-5.5 easily.
