What was shown is that Wolverine is faster, and able to tag Thor at least three times before Thor is able to return a blow. After being hit several times Thor managed to grab an ankle and toss Wolverine, he never showed the ability to hit Wolverine in a melee exchange. Why has Thor "swung fiercer blows," because he was unable to hurt Wolverine? Not good enough. You can't just arbitrarily decided Thor was holding back for no reason, when he was stated not to have been.

Shove your red herring "diminished capacity" crap. Wolverine was going for the kill and not holding back. Nobody was controlling how he fought lik a puppeteer. He fought as hard as if he were fighting Sabretooth. And all he managed to do was kitty-scratch Thor, drain his patience and get two-shotted into eating dirt, smoking a$$-up, with a "uhhh..." as Thor relents in his attacks. [b]The only one operating at a diminished capacity was Thor, who wasn't trying to kick the sh1t out of Wolverine up until the point he actually did kick the sh1t out of Wolverine on-panel.[/B]
It's not a red herring, it is pretty much forum doctrine. Mind-control is a plot device, mind-control characters always operate at diminished capacity, examples of a character being victorious over a mind-controlled character aren't considered to be accurate depictions of characters operating at peak efficiency. You've been on the forum a long time, you don't need me to tell you thinks you already know.
Again, Wolverine was never unconscious or incapacitated, so he wasn't two-shotted. Thor hit Wolverine with the best he could muster, and all he could do was break the mind-control. Wolverine was fine, Thor was injured. That's how the fight ended.

Your analogy is retarded. It only shows the depths you've deluded yourself. Killer Croc ain't Thor. He ain't got Thor's combat experience, speed feats or power. Granting all your absurd semantic horsecrap full faith and credit, Wolverine's "superior" agility permitted him to kitty-scratch Thor menially and then get two shotted.
The difference in strength and skill, between Thor and Croc is irrelevant, the comparison was only to illustrate that a slower character can tag a faster character. Wolverine tagged Thor several times, and dodged several of his attacks before Thor managed to land an attack, ergo Wolverine was depicted as being faster. The law of averages says Thor would hit him eventually... that doesn't change the fact that Wolverine was faster than him.
