you hit some of the big ones. his punking of warrior was very impressive as well. his beat down of hal--something i could never see thor doing without his hammer. his punking of jonnz is also impressive and also something i can't see thor doing h2h.
Knocking Warrior off his feet after being tackled, breaking out of Hal’s constructs despite most of his concentration being focused elsewhere etc. aren’t things you think Thor can do?
😬
Really?
I’ve seen Thor toss Kurse after temporarily holding his own in combat, temporarily overpowering Durok, one shotting a force field created by a noticeably amped Surfer, putting Harald into orbit, one shotting classic Abomination, rocking the Destroyer, knocking out the Celestial Amped Forgotten One (Granted he tried to pick up Mjolnir), taking Bill out of the fight with a hit, beating on classic Juggernaut, all his battles with an enraged Hulk such as pushing Merged incarnation (Savage Banner) to the very limit of his endurance etc.

i know--you'll disagree, or believe thor could replicate those feats. alas, my opinion really won't change and i think you know i know thor pretty damn well.
You do know Thor well which is why your above statements are confusing. It’s not like he lacks the feats so I cannot think of a reason why you’d disagree.
You’re not giving Thor enough credit here imho.

if you seriously want to say thor's fists=his hammer, wellll..... 😬 nothing i can do about that. it's your opinion and that's cool. statements not withstanding, thor's strikes w/hammer>than his fists. no on-panel statement you can produce will change that opinion i'm afraid, so no need for scans. pretty sure if you polled 100 people, 100 would agree, despite statements suggesting otherwise. and i've seen the scans. in THIS particular case, i simply don't put much stock in them. makes no sense imho.
Thor’s fist is on par with his hammer to a point (That point usually being charged strikes and so on), the very fact that the hammer is an inanimate object should add some advantages but in terms of striking force generated, I wouldn’t consider there to be a difference on average. At least a large one.
I really couldn’t care less what a 100 people have to say if they’re ignorant. I understand that the idea might not make real world sense but suspension of disbelief is necessary when reading comics. The difference between a punch from Thor and a Mjolnir blow has never been as large as a real world example would be unless it’s an extreme strike. A good example would be Gladiator commenting that Thor is his equal in strength after being struck by Mjolnir. That alone gives an insight on how a writer views the relationship.
I mean, I’ve seen Mjolnir collide equally with a charged Destroyer punch and then after an extended battle, he did just as well with his fist. Logic says that shouldn’t happen, the Destroyer doesn’t even tire or relent, but there you go, suspension of disbelief and all.

as for the fight--i don't "want" his healing to be.....anything. strength and durability being equal (essentially imo) healing IS an advantage. some of his healing feats are REALLY good. thor would stalemate for a long time, MAY ko him, but the majority of the time i say the healing would allow him to win via attrition. we've also seen lobo's ability to punch at superspeed, another advantage he has over thor. add in the 'illogical' nature of the character at times and welll.....
Maybe I'm thinking off this too much in the context of what would happen in a comic book, technically this fight can go on for century or something else that silly. I just have trouble seeing Lobo knocking out Thor straight up for the most part for the most part, I find the opposite more likely, but Thor bag and all.
I don't think super speed or hand to hand skills will play much of a role between Lobo and Thor. Just my opinion, but it's how shit usually works when such characters get together from what I've seen.

those things amount to good, tough fights that end in lobo's favour more often than not. least that's how i see it.
Fair enough I guess.
I'm fine with someone thinking Lobo takes 5-6/10.
