Nova isn't losing to a flying brick. As I said before. At full power he's a notch below Surfer Level, but a notch above guy's like Sentry. More durable, faster, as strong, more variety with his powers and he has worldmind.
Sentry, diminished though he may be, isn't simply a flying brick, unless massive energy powers and telepathy now come standard with the brick's arsenal. Also, "flying bricks" shouldn't be sold short. SBP, anyone? You mentioned Gladiator, but Gladiator's top feats are completely insane, and I would argue superior to Nova's top feats: one-shotting Vulcan, killing a phoenix, flying through stars, smashing planets, containing supernovas without harm to himself, just to name a few.
In a comic, I think Sentry would win this via the superguy effect (i.e., when all things are equal, the guy who looks the most like Superman will probably win). In forum...tough call. I say Nova 6/10.

Nova got stomped by a Surfer who isn't even trying. Nova at full power is low-herald at 1st. Norman tells Sentry to rip Nova's head off in 3 seconds and throw his remains in the sun, Sentry does it in 1 second.Sentry stomps with utter ease
