You can ask Rage, he was the one that posted the scan a few weeks back in the Ownage thread.
I know the scene you're talking about. Forget where it's from, but I'm there for you Zop
But Thor has beaten Surtur twice in Rage of Thor (though Surtur beat Odin once there). He beat him when he was revived and had a portion of the Odin Power in Thor v3 8. He beat him when he had the Shade of the Twilight in Everything Burns.
Surtur also somehow died in Ragnacok too and it wasn't by Rune King Thor...
You can bet if Thanos lost to Thor, that people would be having a field day with him. Like they will when he gets jobbed out in Infinity, or when he was weakened under Bendis... but I digress.
Surtur can win here, but he can also lose pretty badly. For all his raw power, he doesn't protect himself and he's not as nimble as Odin if you will. He might equal Odin in power, or even be a little above, but it's the difference between finesse and brute force. Surtur pretty much takes everything head on without protecting himself at all.
Though if Surtur fought a little smarter I have no doubt he'd win decisively. I mean his sword alone can warp the universe and in effect create its own.
