Oh and if you hadn't noticed, on page 2 I did say Hawkman wins. I will add with much difficulty.

Fair enough 👆 I will only focus on this last sentence of yours, because there's no point in this debate arguing about things when we both largely agree.
However, I got it wrong - multiple times, no less - about Reed helping T'Challa up, so I will admit it here.

If you read Justice League of America #5 more closely, Hawkman was losing to Shaggy Man pretty steadily. And pretty badly. The JLA ended up defeating him. And as for Blockbuster, Catwoman kicked the sh1t out of him somehow.At least Black Dwarf made a stand against Gladiator, Ronan, Super-Skrull and Annihilus.
In any event, KoTD Black Panther has consistently dealt with blows from class 100s: Namor, Terrax the Enlightened, Black Dwarf. He's even outright defeated a class 100 in Black Dwarf and seemed well on his way to defeating Namor.
He also one-shot Black Swan. Who was way stronger than anybody thought when she gave the entire Illuminati team the business when they confronted/reimprisoned her. She even went on to defeat Doctor Spectrum from the Supreme Power universe during an incursion.
So if we're going by class of opponents, KoTD Black Panther looks to be superior.
Just want to address some points, I see you are currently engaged in a monumental debate against our good friend thingy - truly an epic clash of titans (I hope you aren't too bruised afterwards from the sheer weight of his crafted arguments).
Yes, Hawkman was bleeding/compound fracturing pretty badly, but since then, his healing factor seems to have improved (regrowing limbs etc). And he was hanging. With Blockbuster, whilst you brought up Catwoman, Black Dwarf was getting frustrated against Shang Chi. Yes, I know he had gauntlets etc - and yes, I would place him above Selina - but I'm not sure what your use of Catwoman was meant to prove. In the same comic, Dwarf goes from stalemating with Shang, to hanging with some of the most bloodthirsty heralds in Marvel. These weird inconsistencies happen, and doesn't take away from the original point.
As for the outright defeat of Dwarf, that happened off-panel. Yes, I fully 100% agree - a win is a win. But the circumstances are unknown. I'm not going to add colour to the victory and try to lowball it, but anything could have happened. T'Challa could have just straight up given him a beat down. His arm could have been broken by him tripping over a rock and landing awkwardly - or it could have withstood a full bloodlusted smash from Dwarf's fist, for example.
