Hulk is like a power gem...the more he subconsciously tap into his power, the stronger, faster, and more durable he becomes and there has been no define limit on his ability to amp. His abilities are identical to a PG user and I never said that Thanos was scared of Hulk, but he clearly said he avoids Hulk for obvious reasons and compared him to a Champion that was steadily amping off the gem."This is how it would be like BATTLING the Hulk".
That statement is a comparison of power. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's not a comparison of power, it's a reference of power. Hulk is nowhere near Champion with the PG, but like Champion. Hulk's strength increases with his anger.
Thanos was alluding to that fact by acknowledging that Champion's abilities are similar to Hulk's. He didn't even avoid a confrontation with the Hulk. He has never teleported when he appeared so that point is moot.
He hasn't ever "avoided" Hulk. It's just a fleeting statement. Describing power levels.
