Because the argument he's trying to costruct makes it appear as if he's talking out of his ass.
Bottem line, if you're a in a fight with a fighter of superior skill and speed, and that fighter happens to be evading a number of your punches, kicks, or even takedowns... that doesn't automatically mean that your opponent is untouchable (or that you can't hit them). Ok?
The reason I'm asking ODG if he's had fighting experience is because if he did, he wouldn't make an argument that weak.
Every fighter including myself as had a fight where we are trying to land a flush punch on an opponent and they slip that punch.
Just because your opponent is able to avoid getting hit a few times doesn't mean you won't have a chance of touching them, it ALSO doesn't mean that You/I/etc were holding back.
Infact, it's pretty common for haymakers to miss their mark in a standard h2h fight, that doesn't dictate someone was holding back their punch, just means they missed.
What we know is
-That Thor was missing Wolverine in h2h combat.
-That Thor asserted that it was due to Wolverine's speed (and perhaps agility)
-And that Thor insisted they were his "fiercest" and "finest" blows.
Does that automatically dictate that he can't hit Wolverine at all? No
Does that automatically dictate that he was holding back just because he ends up tagging Wolverine later? No.
Within the confines of those panels, there is not a single reason to assume that Thor's statement's about Wolverine's speed or his own punches have no credability to them....unless you want to do some serious reaching.
And frankly, trying to assert that Thor grabbing Wolverine's foot while Wolverine was (or at least looked to be...?) airborne, and swatting Wolverine off him while once again airborne automatically DOES discredit those statements says a lot about one's critical thinking IMO and not in a good way... at the very least it tells me that one lacks a significant amount of fighting experience to be making those kinds of arguments in the first place.
