I don't need to present ANY way Thanos could've comeback because that isn't needed. I'm simply and only saying, it's not a absolute fact Odin would've won, when we've seen countless fights in comics where somebody come backs to win. However, just to throw a bone at you.. since you mentioned attrition.. how about if Thanos actually used his shields... the same ones that made a pissed off Galactus who was well fed.. need to leave to go feed again it drained him so much? As I stated, that isn't needed, as the argument is whether it can be called an absolute fact or not.
So you're arguing semantics? You concede that in all likelihood, Odin wins if the battle continues, but because the battle didn't end on panel, no one can say for a fact that Thanos would've lost. You can have that, if you want; personally, I think that's a hollow statement to make given what the panels showed.
As for Thanos and his shields, Big G turned Thanos into a smoking heap despite being taxed because the power disparity between them was so great--despite Thanos being upgraded by that point. To that end, I could see a similar result for Odin/Thanos, particularly since the latter was weaker at the time: Odin gets taxed, but still works the Titan.
