Gladiator has the advantage in speed and overall diversity of powers. Hercules is slightly stronger, more experienced, a better fighter and has more stamina. If the battle is man-to-man close combat Herc wins based on his advantages. Gladiator could win the battle using long range attacks, but why would Gladiator stay out of Herc's reach unless he lacked confidence in which case he'd be far from his usual nigh-invincible self and Herc would take him out by hurling any number and variety of objects at him until he went down.
