Well from what I have seen pertaining to the two characters, I think Thor absolutely can give Thanos trouble and even manage to beat him...
Thoughout the "Infinity" trilogy it was continually implied that Thor could standup to Thanos...such as when they would illustrate the characters taking a swing at each other and it appearing equal or when something significant happened to Thanos or his tech, it was Thor doing it...such as when Thor destroyed his chair.
From what I have seen, Deaths main upgrade to Thanos appears to be in durability as he has survived some pretty good shots from some pretty powerful characters, but that said, thoughout his history, Thor has shown (in his high showings at any rate) some pretty impressive ability to take punishment as well such as when he withstood several direct energy attacks from the Celestials and kept on coming...
All in all, I think Thor can definitely take out Thanos; Thanos can definitely beat him back...but it wont be as one sided as some here foolishly believe.
Oh and btw, until Thanos demostrates some high powered defense against spiritual attack, I see no reason why Thors soul draining attack wont work on Thanos; and no, the reasoning "because its Thanos" is not valid...thats just a fanboyish reaction of someone uncomfortable with the idea of Thor beating Thanos in this fashion.
