Because they sure have been in a lot of situations that would have called for that level of combat speed. They've both been pushed to the brink several times. Flash, Zoom, amped-Cheetah for Wonder Woman and Gladiator, Balder, Hermes for Thor.Fact: They've never on-panel punched and kicked at the same FTL speeds as they do when they defend and parry. Fact: They've fought a lot of speedster opponents and historically speaking, they don't match their combat speed. Fact: They've both stated on-panel that they have great difficulty with speedster opponents.
I'd like to think Wonder Woman and Thor could have FTL combat speeds. But at the same time, they've never demonstrated them. And that's key for me. Besides, several things seem to contradict that they could. And actually, if you care to know, I am of the opinion that Wonder Woman has a bit better combat speed than Thor. I also think her melee skills are more suited for this fight and she has an advantage there. I personally think Wonder Woman is very underrated. But compared to Thor's experience advantage, strength advantage and durability advantage... I'd pick Thor for a slight majority. I have seen him beast without Mjolnir.
Thor 6/10.
WW is stronger (prove me wrong), more durable to blunt force (prove me wrong), and has the same amount of experience (she's thousands of years old too). Thor has no advantages here. Thus he loses.
