Okay - off the top of my head, he's overpowered both Hulk and Thing at the same time. That's > Supes' strength. (No, I am not saying that Hulk or Thing is stronger than Superman, I'm saying overpowering them both at once makes it so.) He's also stalemated DP Tyrant in a physical grappling contest, who is about skyfather level.
He's dodged blows thrown at superspeed before (Thanos Quest and Infinity Gauntlet comes to mind most immediately). That means Supes' speed shouldn't be an issue.
He's walked through an Asgard-empowered Odin blast focused through his skyfather level weapon, Gungir. That's > Supes' HV.
His own energy blasts have knocked Galactus (high level abstract in power) through his ship and across a moon. It's also overpowered the Beyonder's own energy blast. Beyonder has infinite power. That's > Supes' power output.
He's got shielding capable of withstanding planet-destroying punches. Energy manipulation and absorption capabilities. Which means red sun radiation for Supes. Matter manipulation capabilities. Which means Kryptonite radiation for Supes. And he's a master of black magic. Which Supes still has a weakness to.
I'm sure there are more reasons why Thanos would defeat current Superman, but alas, I'm only half-awake.

Ok. To address that, Superman has overpowered both Lobo and Lar-Gand (Daxamite) at the same time. That's >>>> Thanos strength.
For Tyrant he had an enhancement at the time. Enhanced Supes overpowered Imperiex powered Braniac 13. :-)

If a slow brick like Thanos can dodge superspeed...then imagine what someone who's second only to the flashes can do?
Things (which Supes has already done) like round up an invading army into a ball and toss them into a dimensional portal before said army can react.

He's flown through red sunlight galaxy sized suneater blasts and through pissed off Darkseid Omega effect. That's > Thanos blasts.

His own power has let him hold black holes in his hand, punch with unstoppable infinite force, and turn galaxy sized gears, sealed wormholes, and trapped Dominus. Dominus has infinite power.
That's all >>>>Thanos.

His own durability has taken double black holes, and with T-vo he's shown energy manipulation and absorption capabilities. He's reversed reality control, punched through death, and defeated Blaze (skyfather level) in her own dimension.
All above Thanos level.

There are more feats that equal or surpass Thanos under their own power and without prep..but I'm just chillaxin.
That and half the Thanos stuff is miscontrued, unproven, or just plain flat wrong.

Not to mention Thanos usually has some"prep"or enhancment during his higher feats. The funny thing about this is Supes would be given a win over Thanos if it came down to it. IMO someone like SS and Thor should be able to do so as well but....well we know the story there.
The story of how two characters above Superman can't even beat Thanos? Tis a great story.
