Do you think its best to look at fibghts vs fts? Example...who would you think is stronger, someone that stalemate Tyrant in a contest of strength or someone that bust planets to dust and push and pull them?

Thanos didn't stalemate Tryant in a contest of strength. He actually was holding Tyrant's wrists. Wrist control (as in wrestling) is a way to control your opponent better, even if you are weaker than them. In other words, a weaker person can hold a stronger person's wrist for a small moment in time (as Thanos did). The hold was only temporary and thus it wasn't a stalemate anyway.
Also, we can't assume Tyrant has the physical strength to physically bust planets to pieces (he can blast them to pieces though) or physically pull planets. Gladiator at planet busting level is rare and he is not that confident or performs on that level on average. Otherwise, anyone matching him (or almost) in strength in a comic would be able to bust planets too. Colossus would be a planet buster (or almost). Namor would be able to destroy an asteroid twice the size of the Earth in one blow since he overpowered a stronger version of Hulk.
A character performing a high feat doesn't mean he/she is performing at that level every time we see them in COMICS. Otherwise, the gas station that koed Superman would ko anyone under Superman's durability. Glads busting planets doesn't mean everytime he confronts someone in comics that he is at that level. IMO, Tyrant is slightly stronger than an average Glads (not a high feat Glads though).

They would only be misleading because of writer variances.
Some characters have their abilities more strictly plotted out though.
Anyway, I can't think of any other form of fiction that is as wildly inconsistent and contradicting as comics.

You gotta admit it's fun to see Battle Boards struggle to make sense of them.
