Someone implied that Thanos pimpslaping someone without amping shows that he is capable of fighting beings on Orion's physical level.
I disagree. Pimpslaping proves nothing.

Thanos every time.
yeah the fact that people think orion has any chance is pathetic. I mean seriously didn't thanos train mantis how to fight and isn't she like an uber class Marshal artist. need more proff look at the fight with champion no matter how old you think Orion is champion is older and a universal class fighter. Thanos owned him.

Only those who can fly or stick to the ground (Spidey) can truly brace.
not in comics, in jla "the tornado's path" Grundy stayed on the ground by bracing himself when red tornado was using an f-5 on him.

Oh? And why is that? Superman weighs less than half a ton, afterall.

Some comics are different. Some take this into consideration and some don't. I've seen weaker beings launch much stronger beings very easily. Now if the attack is purely horizontal then I guess one can use frictional forces of the ground to brace. But if the attack is slightly upward then the only thing that would keep someone from being launched is them holding on to the ground with their feet (Spidey), being able to fly, or some other magical/scientific means.

I totally agree with your logic it's just that when it comes to comics it doesn't apply it should but most of the time it does not.
in the case of grundy and red tornado grundy was being pulled at from all kinds of directions both horizontal and vertical since he was in the full both of a tornado. Most of the time if a brick stands there ground it takes someone stronger then they are to move them. most of the time anyway.
back to topic several several times thanos has knocked upper tier characters senseless with just a swat without amping. Take for instance the Hulk incident. Normally if the hit didn't really affect the hulk he would be right back as fast as he can to deal out some damage of his own. this was not the case in that accordance. And really if thanos gets his powers at all in this fight he should be allowed to use amp anyway. That like making a hulk vs orion Hand to hand thread and saying that hulk can't use his anger to amp his punches and strength. it's a part of his hand to hand fighting power set. so anyway orion goes down but not easily.

Who of significance has Thanos knocked senseless with a mere swat? You know what senseless means right?

Hulk is not that fast. Spiderman can easily knock Hulk into a wall. It would take Hulk several moments to get back. Pimp smacking Hulk only proves that Thanos has super strength. It doesn't prove that he has class 100 strength though (even though I believe he has).

There is simply no proof to even put him in Orion's league in physical strength. I totally disagree that the power gem increases durabillity.
