Jeez, the Handbooks themselves say, "when not bolstering his strength by other means" aka when he's not AMPING, and then give their base strength.
The stat for Odin and Zeus hasn't changed in decades and you can safely assume this is how the Marvel writers/editors want it.
Unamped you have the following facts :
Zeus is at 90 tons, Odin at 75
Olympians don't age after hitting the equivalent of a 30-33 year old human being, Asgardians continue aging and will eventually die of old age (compare Odin's appearance to Zeus' as further proof of Odin's deterioration, the handbook states that he originally had blond hair)
Both Zeus and Odin are skilled hand 2 hand combatants (says so right in their handbook entry)
Zeus wins this EASILY unamped.
EDIT :
Here's the exact quote -
http://marvel.wikia.com/Zeus_Panhellenios_%28Earth-616%29
Like all Olympians, Zeus is superhumanly strong. His strength is far superior to the vast majority of his race and he is capable of lifting about 90 tons without supplementing his strength with his other powers.
See the part in bold? That's called WITHOUT AMPING.
