Not that it matters since Thor beat his ass.....haermm
You wont get any evidence since there non besides "Gladiator is superb fast!".
So now it is a complete differen't glads who still was beaten? No and no, This Gladiator is from the Future but it is the current Glads just older, might be he became stronger over the years, still it is Glads, but ok it is not canon to the current one, still Thor never beat him though. IIRC the FF and Thor went with a Time Machine into the Future and used devices on their belts to move in a time bubble and operated between seconds. Yet in this semi time frozen state only Gladiator was able to accelerate his speed to interact with them.

Before the fight began he was already tired from his journey and operating at his hyperspeed:

He comments he is exhausted, yet he stalemates Thor, whose speed was accelerated through the time bubble to the best Speed Gladiator could move at. So an speed amped Thor against an Exhausted Gladiator, and only a stalemate.

Gladiator is created to Job in the comics, still he is portrayed as one of the most powerful HH, some writers also treat him with respect and portray him as a noble spirit, a protector of his empire and some like an idiot, a punching bag. I like the noble approach better but different writers different approaches.
Here Thor being impressed by Glads who sacrifices himself.

Silver Surfer also respects him after their stalemate.
