Yeah. He had a bit of trouble, but he overpowered him. But since we do have 3 movies(4 if you consider Dark Fury and 5 if you consider that Escape from Butcher Bay/Dark Athena was canon) of Riddick doing superhuman stuff far beyond what a normal person is capable of. Then Diaz had to be amped some way, or more likely they just wanted him to look badass for a bit.
We could just directly compare Mortal Thor's fights to Riddicks.

All I'm saying is that we see Riddick run in to some "slight" difficulty fighting a big, strong human with no known or established skill.
Depowered Thor is a big, strong human with established skill so I'm considering that Riddick will have a harder time with him.
I'm not saying that Thor wins, heck I'd say Riddick wins near 10/10. Just don't think Riddick can simply steamroll over Thor like he does normal thugs.
There were extenuating circumstances leading up to the fight with Diaz, and I believe Riddick may have even been injured at that point before the crash. I'll have to go back over it to remember. But Diaz gave him a few seconds of trouble at most and seemed stronger than Thor due to how easily he held Riddick in the air by his arms. But Riddick actually overpowered him and outfought him. We also saw him easily take down that huge Necromonger in the beginning of Chronicles. It took maybe 3-4 seconds max.
I see Thor putting up a small fight like Batroc did against Cap. He'd surprise Riddick, because he wasn't expecting him to be more than a big lumbering oaf. But once he gets passed the surprise, Thor's nothing he hasn't seen or beaten before.
I think we need a bit more clarification on the fight specs here. How much are we leveling the battlefield here in de-powering Thor?
As it Stands, Thor is in a league far beyond, Riddick when it comes to strength, powers and durability. Is he de-powered to a humans level of strength and durability or is it an equal playing field?
If we're putting both fighters on the same level of strength and durability capabilities then i'm still going to have to side with Thor. Thor has centuries of fighting experience, spanning all types of species and fighting abilities.

Yeah, i read that but it's a vague statement. When you say, de-powered are you implying he resembles simple human capabilities? Is he resorted to that of a simple Asgardian or simply without the might of Mjolnir? If you're giving him simple human feats combined with his fighting experience then that's quite different from the latter two possibilities.

Do you remember when he was de-powered on earth? Thats de powered Thor.
