Again, if you're going to take Korath's words as true, then you should take Ronan's and Ronan > Korath in every way imaginable.You bring up a good point, Thanos as of right now has zero screen fighting feats, so why put him above a guy who has them? Ronan did not have the stone when he fought Drax; the stone vastly amped his powers, so your point is moot.
Thanos with the stones will be more powerful than Thanos without them. So unless Thanos curbstomps everyone before he gains the stones, this point is also a moot one.
It isn't just Korath's but in the same scene Nebula says to Ronan this is a fight you can't win.
My point is Thanos' standing, relevance, and portrayal ever since his inception. It makes no sense this one note villain was capable of downing the grand villain just because he thinks he can.
He didn't portray any exceptional skill against Drax though so despite his power amp he doesn't change his reflexes/skill level. Ronan backed down to Thanos man to man. Thanos punked him. So despite Ronan's lack of feats, Ronan's failure to deliver on his promises to Thanos, and common sense suggesting Thanos is on another level in terms of competence, intelligence, and power than Ronan what makes you think this stone would best him ?
Lets say for instance the Star Wars prequels don't get made and all we have to go in for Palpatine are his Rotj does common sense tell you Vader is his combat superior ??
