Quanchi, how is that a testament to Thanos' skill? For all we know he created several obstacle courses for her and created robots for her to fight against.

Yo, goob, I'm trying to have an intelligent discussion with you - call your attack troll off. 😛.Oh, and most certainly he has some skill. But, barring his training of Gamora, his skill seems no more impressive than your average street fighter.
As said, he ducked under a telegraphed punch, and stepped out of the way of a bullrush. Nothing a few fights of experience couldn't teach.
Anyway, that fight alone shows that Thanos is more skilled than an average streetfighter. Champ has shown superior skill to Thor and Colossus(and while neither of them are premier fighters, both are ahead of the average streetfighter skillwise), and even has a instance of getting the better of Mantis, so for Thanos to be able to do that to Champ IS impressive. It's not nearly as impressive as most make it out to be, but in my mind it does put his skills a bit beyond those of anyone without ACTUAL MA training.

Goob - I know you're not trying to prove Thanos is an uber martial artist. But the feats your throwing down don't even prove he's moderately skilled.Again, defeating a planet of warriors would be cake for someone with Thanos' level of strength and durability - and we never saw a single skillful showing there, did we?
Soljer has the idea here.
Look at Hiroshima, Fat man and Little Boy decimated thousands, yet are the two inanimate objects directly more skilled then the entirety of the deceased ?
Hell no.
Raw Power >>>>Skill

I've seen MOST of Thor's appearances and I've checked out the respect thread before and I've yet to see anything that indicates he's more skilled than Thanos. ESPECIALLY when you consider that Thanos proved superior to someone that Thor couldn't land a punch on...
Do you actually think that Thor is as fast as Thanos?
Both fights were also completely different. Thor was wearing fricking boxing gloves and the Champion stood there and prepared for him. In his fight with Thanos he charges him like an idiot, Thanos also used energy blasts, forcefield and amplified his own punches.
You actually think to compare those two scenarios?

Now, if you have any other h2h showing of Thor's that indicate that he's superior to Thanos I'd be MORE than happy to take a look(because I'm a Thor fan myself), but right now I just don't have anything else to go off of. At this point, all you've been trying to do is discredit the (admittedly few) skill feats that Thanos has to his credit, without actually SHOWING anything that indicates Thor to be the better h2h fighter.

I thought you claimed to have read the respect thread?
Thor stalemated Hercules, he beat Mr.Hyde and stalemated a buffed up Loki for a while. These are no hammer feats of course.

I have read the respect thread, I saw nothing to convince me. I mean, what makes you think that ANY of those opponents are as skilled as Thanos h2h?
The fact that they usually fighting using their fists, not energy blasts, forcefield and flight With the exception of Loki of course.
Now, based on what would you say that Thanos is more skilled than Thor? Because all I see is the fight against The Champion, where he barely used his hands at all.

I agree completely.
Some of the arguments being used to discredit the Thanos vs. Champion encounter seem very spiteful. How can you argue what went on in that fight. Thanos chumped him and made him look stupid... period.
In regards to the training Gamora thing... Yes its true a trainer can make someone a good fighter without being one himself, however you dont make somone the Universe's deadliest assasin without knowing a little something about h2h combat. Lets not be ignorant here, everyone knows Thanos has h2h skills, and with his superior strength, speed, and durability it should be enough to take Thor h2h.
