MALE DOMINANCE!!!

Or unless you are of the opinion that an Illumination Stone/Chalice of Ruins-amped is significantly weaker than unamped Thanos.
Odinforce Thor > Thor during that arc, true.
But I believe Thanos does point out during Infinity Abyss that that clone was a weaker model. And while the clone did have amps, wasn't it only with regard to unleashing waves of death throughout the universe, or something along those lines? Its been a little while since I've read it. I do remember Thanos' blasts going right through Thor's Odinforce amping shield, though.
Two reasons why I don't believe the "Classic Thor should put up a good fight against Thanos." Thanos has already beaten Classic Thor while he was being aided by the rest of the Avengers. This was pre-first-death Thanos. Secondly, even while Thor was in WM and amped by the Power Gem, Thanos had the advantage in their combat (look at the exchange and you'll see Thanos not only landed more blows but floored Thor more times than Thor floored Thanos.) Thirdly, if you look at the entire Walker the Death God arc (I don't recall the actual title of the storyline) Thanos is portrayed as being more powerful there, as well. The real kicker is with Odin. Thanos took him on two hours after expending energy fighting the aforementioned amped Thor, as well as wiping out the Asgardian army. He did well, all things considered (don't worry, I won't be Quan and say he could've beat him.) Thor, on the other hand, has been one-shot by Odin. The power difference between Thor and Thanos is incredibly noticable. Hell, even in Infinity War, Quasar casts his quantum shields over Thanos and the Infinity Watch. The rest of the heroes attempt to break into it, launching energy blasts, etc. Thor tosses Mjolnir at it. Nothing happens. Not even a scratch. Thanos shatters the shielding easily with one blast.
Thanos wipes the floor with Classic Thor, Surfer, Superman, and any other high herald barring plot devices or unusual showings. He's in a different class of power. IE, above high-herald.
