I really like Thanos, but no way in hell does he win a slugfest. In physical strength Thanos is not Hulk (Thanos mentions that he has avoided confrontation with Hulk, and that is a Thanos with cosmic powers). Yeah, he can manipulate energy, teleport, his shield can take blows from beyonder and Galactus, he has some of the most advanced tech and he can shoot beams from his arse. But without his cosmic powers he would lose: he is slow compared to superman and can not even fly ...

in a pure slugfest neither can superman ur basically grabbing both char and putting each other in a ring and telling them to fight till one gets pounded to putty somehow i see supes being putty long before thanos with just pure strength and fighting ability..

So, why can't he amp his punches again? He is still only punching and his cosmic powers are very much apart of him just as supes and solar energy is him. So, you want to take away part of Thanos's being and yet keep Supes being the same. Granted he needs all the help he can get to beat Thanos. However, that would be like saying.. supes is devoid of taking in anymore solar energy and can just fight with what he has in a place of total darkness...

Thanos has already proven himself to be a lot stronger than Professor Hulk and the Thing.
