The statement is made too deliberately with its use of a condition precedent.And beyond that, a lesser-looking follow-up blow with the butt-end of his halberd ended up breaking his rib outright. Bor took Odinforce Thor to the limit (and took Mjolnir beyond its limit). The Destroyer Armor with a free naked shot didn't do nearly as much.
I know the reference and that is a valid point. However, it's also valid that Thor had taken multiple shots from a pissed off Thor and he was just fine.. yet ONE shot from Bor would've killed him? That doesn't seem like a tad bit of a stretch there?
