If this were true then tanking even universe-busting explosions wouldn't be that great of a feat. srslyRegardless of that, Thanos has still shrugged off numerous physical blows from a berserk, power gem-wielding Thor (see PG's post.) none
Scans plz.

His probably referring to the time Thor tanked attacks from Odin repeatedly. In that arc Odin was busting Galaxies and shit.
The only other time I can think of anything near that scale is when Thor was blasted by the Celestials. In that story they punched through the Destroyer and then melted him to slag. The narration stated the Destroyer could withstand a Super Nova placidly.
I also don't think Thanos withstanding planetary level destruction unharmed means that much. Bill's done it. Surfer's done it. I think even Superman's done it.
Drax flew into the core of a Star, and ripped a star in half, destroying it.
I'd be much more impressed if a being withstood a punch that had all the force of Thor or Superman behind it instead of a being withstanding the destruction of a planet.

Anywho, I'm sure you saw the scans PG posted on the first page. I'm also sure you recall that in the B&T arc, berserk Thor literally three-shotted the likes of Surfer, and handled Bill just as easily. But even when berserk Thor obtained the power gem in that very same arc, his blows were still relatively ineffectual against Thanos. Just throwing that out there.

I don't see why Thanos surviving planetary destruction is anymore impressive than Bill or Surfer doing it.
Actually, Bill withstood nearly as many attacks as Thanos did. Three blows from Thor were able to down Bill momentarily -similar to Thanos actually- and it took one or two more hits followed with a lightning bolt to finally put Bill down. Thanos took about 5 hits from Thor. Three which downed him and were posted by PG.
What Thanos did was more impressive as Thor was amped to an unknown extent, but he didn't outperform Bill by that much.

Thor didn't have the PG when he downed Bill. He had it when he battled Thanos. Huge difference.
Did I not make the distinction by pointing out that Thor was amped to some unknown extent?
I don't know about huge. The difference would have been quite large if he had actually harnessed it's power as pointed out by Norrin or maybe it was Strange.

And I do believe there were several claims made pertaining to Thor's gem-enhanced power, after he obtained it.

Why do you continue to try and compare Thor's, Bill's, Surfer's durbaility with that of Thanos. Each of them have a couple high end durability feats that can compete with Thanos. That is a given as they are heroes. However, we look at the big picture here not just high end feats. Thanos doesn't have the low end durability feats these guys do, along with the fact that in general Thanos always has high durability feats. This makes it a clear and decisive victory in the durability department for Thanos. Thanos was harmed in the least by anything Thor threw at him. He got knocked against a wall and got up immediatly with only a trickle of blood to show for it.. along with a smile.

Question to the TS. When you say a full power punch, does that mean the contestants are limited to their fists alone, or can someone like say Thor amp his strikes with energy?
amp is allowed since its part of there punching abilities ... basically they can do what ever they want as long as the punch is with there fist eventually

I honestly don't remember how the Champion relationship worked. From what I do remember of Drax, the more worked up Drax became, the more power he accessed. He just continuously became stronger and stronger depending on how big the threat he faced was. It never became clear how much power Thor was actually tapping into.
I personally don't think the difference would be anything significant. Even in that story that Thor would give Thanos a good fight -or a run for his money- any normal day. Starlin has had Thor briefly match Thanos in the past as well. I don't think the difference would have to be extremely large based on that.
Surfer stated that if Thor harnessed the Gem's power, he'd destroy even Asgard. In the next issue, Warlock said that Thor was now nearly unstoppable or something similar. This in particular didn't impress me. He made claims about Thor being one of the most powerful beings in the Universe before that. What really stood out to me however was Norrin saying Thor had grown so powerful, that even their combined might was nothing compared to him. I don't know how much stock I'd put into that as Thor didn't seem any different than he was previously, and Norrin hadn't even run into Thor (This was right after they teleported out of the mansion and found out Thor had gained the Power Gem)
It wasn't until after Strange/Warlck attacked him that we saw Thor actually tap into the Power Gem however to reverse their attack.
I just didn't see any significant leap between his previous performances and when he had the Gem. At least not anything noticeable.
