To be fair to both parties, it would have to be a two-part fight.
In the first half, it would be more/less fisticuffs (+ hammer as club), with the win to Superman. Even if you don't wanna give him the speedblitz advantage (and IMO, I think he Should have it), Supes still has two advantages over Thor: without having to spin anything or incant anything, Superman deploys flight and energy projection much more quickly than Thor can.
Superman wins. They make an uneasy truce, realizing there may be some Common Foe behind this. Story goes on for a bit.
Later on (for whatever PIS reason), they fight again, only this time, Thor knows what he's up against, whereas Superman doesn't fully know yet what to expect from the hammer. Using energy-absorbing, interdimensional whatnot or whatever, Thor keeps Superman at bay while weakening him.
The Common Foe makes some stupid PIS move, and the two heroes join forces once more.
Common Foe is eventually defeated.
Fight Score is now 1 to 1. Last panel of the comic: Thor makes some comment about how he and Superman now fully understand and respect each other's power, while Superman winks through the fourth wall at the readers.book
