On average, Superman like to test the water...see how strong his opponent is before actually going all apes on them. This wouldn't be a good option against Gladiator since "he punch so freaking hard" and is already out for the kill in the beginning.A centurian ranges from Low to Mid Herald.
Gladiator splits one in half and then he one shot another one and choke another to sleep. His strength is insane and in a second match...it might be MUCH harder for Gladiator but since this is a Gauntlet, that's all he needs is the first win.
Here...a couple of well placed blows fatigues Masterson who in all rights is a high Herald.

He one shots Hypernova and War Skrull.
The list keeps going. Superman is going to have to start out bringing the pain in the beginning and again, Superman likes to test his opponents which would get him rocked against someone like Gladiator.

All good and dandy, but do you really think that beating some cannon fodder nova corps member (mid-herald? Even the rookie gls have feats have more impressive feats than them and none of them are considered a low herald much less mid herald.)
All of this is moot as it's a bloodlust match unless specified.
The one that was laid out on the ground with the first punch was a replacement for Rich. He wasn't Canon fodder.
He one shots Rachel.

Snatch Vulcans eye out and then one shot him as well.
One shots Rachel again and one shot Korvus as well.
One shots Binary.

I can keep going with this if you want. Like I said...his punching power is insane.

Or you want Superman to just let himself get punched without retaliation over and over.lol @ binary, korvus, vulcan and rachel. physical powerhouses all the way, eh?
Binary withstood a Sun going nova on her...she was in the heart of the blast.
Korvus...can't argue against that but he did have super human stats.
Vulcan tanked attacks from all of the elite Shiar crew...withstood attacks from Warlock...withstood attacks from a being that was empowered by a planet full of species...withstood attacks from Yahoo who was empowered by an entire star. Knocking him out the way he did was hellava impressive. Lol...Rachel withstood hits from the fury. The same fury that punch Sam Guthrie and the punch was so strong that it penetrated through his invulnerable shield and broke his leg. Rachel is durable.

And she was weakened when Gladiator came along.
And...
Vulcan is also not on Superman's level physically. Neither is Rachel. If you try to argue that they are, this won't end well.
And you dodged my first point.

Nothing was stated that she was still weakened when she faced Gladiator. She didn't appear fatigued at all and the character had plenty of time to rest.
None of the people I showed are on Superman level of durability except Masterson and he didn't do so well against Gladiator fist either.
The point of my scans is to show that Gladiator punches are insane and against Heralds, they can't take too many of them. I feel that if Superman gets hit by too many of Gladiator punches...its not going to go so well for him.

1.Thing-beats
2.Colossus(no cyttorak)-beats
3.Namor- works for it but wins
4.Superboy- same as 3
5.Superman- loses
6.Black Adam-loses
7.Superboy Prime- lol
8.GA Superboy Prime- lol
I would just like to add that while I cant remember if Rachael was actually knocked or just knocked back in that scan that was AFTER she lost the phoenix echo which when she had it was able to match Gladiator
The second claim of Rachael and Korvus being one-shotted is just false
Neither one of these guys were ever knocked out this is from a bit later in the fight.
