Have you read the Aquaman respect thread? There are an AWFUL lot of examples there to say that he has more low showings on average. Anyway, I once again state that Aquaman is not as strong as Namor (while being more than strong enough to hurt him), but he is easily faster, so I hardly see how "he barely approaches Namor physically." His telepathy is certainly a proven quantity. Just read the respect thread, the good people who contributed to it spent a great deal of time and energy documenting just such proof.
If he did beat Thor that is just terrible writing. Anyway, I can remember plenty of times where Herc has beat him, or at least had the better of the fight before it was stopped. However, it is not a matter of pure fisticuffs, (though, if it were Aquaman's greater speed would allow him to make it interesting, if not win outright) and this is where your examples are falling short of the mark. This fight doesn't even have to come to a single blow. Aquaman's telepathy is more than capable of taking Namor out. Even if he doesn't use it in the way that he is proven capable of using it, he can easily employ it to give him the edge in a brawl.
