Fight 1: Gladiator says Thor's unimaginably powerful and says they are equal.
Yes.
Fight 2: Masterson and Gladiator stalemate in one of the clearest grappling contests of strength I've seen printed even though Masterson is a complete noob.
The contest was interrupted. And Gladiator later overpowered Masterson and had him on his mercy before being cheapshotted and even then it took a dozen free mjolnir shots to face to knock him out.
Thor would be turned into ****ing paste in those many mjolnir shots.
Fight 3: You're interpretation is such a warped perception in terms of wording I don't even understand why you'd even want a battle zone. For example: Gladiator punched Thor away but it was Jake Olsen who was knocked out on impact.
This is flat out contradicted in the comic.
In that era, separation meant a gradual change. Not to mention Thor was holding back and Gladiator was explicitly planning on killing him. And Thor needing all that to knock him out is said where?
Thor needing? Seriously? I'm not interested in hearing another thorbag bitching and moaning.
