Not sure how either one of us is going to convince the other of their opinion on this. There's no proof either way.
It just never seemed to me that Thanos is that much stronger than Thor. I’ve honestly not seen anything from him physically speaking that would put him that high up the food chain outside of say that single panel where he matches Tyrant (Which isn’t clear cut with the orb being in play.), but even then, Thor has his own ridiculous physical highs like bringing Surtur with the Twilight Sword to his knees with a blow among other shit so it’s not like Thor doesn’t have high end feats either. Pimp slapping and head knocking is great and all, but don’t really mean that much and not something that I would put past Thor as accomplishing as well based on what his done.

During IW 4, Thor's Mjolnir blow stalemated Thanos' fist. That's it. A far cry from "Thor stalemated Thanos." I'm talking about Quasar 38, where Thor is winding up Mjolnir right behind Thanos. You think he's not going to engage him? Especially when we see him engaging Thanos in IW 4?
😬
I simply stated what I saw, which was them trade blows evenly. You claimed that Thanos took on all those 4 at the same time when we never actually see them do so. If anyone has stated something that was a far cry from what we actually saw happen, it was you.
We never see Thor actually engage him in Quasar #38. We don’t see Thor actually engage anyone in that issue. He was probably still recovering from the lingering doubts of disobeying Captain America’s last orders at the time, which was to surround them in that instance. Not surprising as like I said, he was not eager to fight as the other three. We can’t assume that Thor automatically engaged him along with the other 4. It seems just as likely that he did so on his own. The only time we see Thor engage Thanos was alone in Infinity Wars #4. Nowhere do we see Thor engage Thanos in either Quasar #38 or Fantastic Four #369. In the latter though, Thor starts to square off against Thanos with Hercules watching while Thing and Hulk are busy, so that’s more than likely the prelude to what happens in Infinity Wars #4. You also see Thor and Thanos stalemate one on one in Wonder Man #14.
This further supports the fact that they engaged each other alone which just seems likely. I really don’t see why you would think Thanos engaged all 4 at the same time, when almost everything points to the contrary.

Yes. On the side that was fighting against the heroes. Those were the only ones left. And Warlock was fighting Quasar one-on-one in the air most of that time, so we can kind of forget about him.
Oh okay.

Nitpicking. Warlock wasn't taking on mobs of people for most of the battle. He also wasn't taking many shots. That isn't Warlock's style, afterall. He was talking about Thanos and Drax.
I don’t see how I’m nitpicking. Strong Guy says and I quote, “Incredible durability, I must say. What does it take to put you three down?” I have no idea why you would assume his referring solely to Thanos.

How many of these Mjolnir-level punches do you think these guys can handle before they end up wrecked?
Being wrecked by Mjolnir level punches? You do know that two of the three here have gone toe to toe with Thor to a stalemate on different occasions, handling the best his got (To a certain point as we know Thor can kick shit up a notch above their level apparently but almost never does so typically.). And I doubt Thor is going to be wrecked by Mjolnir level punches. He’d handle those just fine; his taken worse anyways.

Yeah, I wouldn't argue that the blow hurt Thor. But I do think he swatted him back. Kind of similar to the Odin swatting Thanos back scene.
Thanos looked more effected if I remember the scene right.
