Regardless of the lack of in-depth descriptions of Thor's speed abilities, they have still be touched upon, commented upon and narrated upon in his books.
That being said, it is incorrect to discuss him as unable to deal with top-tier speedsters, even if he has not officially been labelled as one.
Thor is one of the most durable characters in comics. Period. We aren't talking about a cheesy healing factor. When Thor goes at it with a top-tier, he usually comes away with less damage, while his opponents are either healing quickly, or sleeping soundly.
As for strength and power go, it has been shown over and over, that there really are no limits to the strength levels he can achieve, the power levels he can access, or what he can do with that power.
Finally, Thor has, at least, thousands of years of experience as a warrior. Usually, when he has problems with an opponent, it is because he has become accustomed to holding back, since being sent to earth and humbled by Odin so many years ago.
Let's be honest, Thor is what Superman would be, if you gave Clark a magic hammer and access to vast, exotic and mystic powers.
Superman is already Thor's equal.
