Zod is stronger, he makes shockwaves with his punches and he's much faster than Kurse too. Kurse gets dummied before he knows he's even in a fight.
What leads you to believe Zod is stronger than Kurse?
Even if so (I disagree), that still doesn't for Kurse being seemingly more durable
Strength advantage is questionable. Thor was strong enough to block a hit from the Hulk and even turn Hulk 360 with a punch. He was completely helpless against Kurse. Also, other than a blackhole grenade we're not sure what it takes to end Kurse. He took an elven blade straight through and didn't seem like it was bothering him. On the other hand, we know Zod's neck can be snapped.
So I give durability to Kurse. Fighting skill to Kurse as well. Strength is a toss up. Speed and mobility to Zod. I do believe Kurse can land a few hits on Zod, considering Zod isn't exactly QS fast and Kurse was able to slap away Mjolnir. Whether those few hits are enough to take out Zod is the question.
Right now, I say Zod 6/10.

It is evident that the MCU intended Hulk to be physically stronger than Thor. Thor's strength is not showcased like it is in the comics. From onscreen feats, we can see Thor's punches are not hard enough to send Hulk flying, like Abomination and Hulkbuster Iron Man did. Thir is no weakling. He's stronger than Iron Man, but weaker than Hulk and Kurse.
As for Kurse vs Zod, it is evident that Zod is above Thor in strength based on feats. I don't know if Zod will win, but it will last a while and Kurse will be taken off his feet several times.

I know Hulk is stronger than Thor. But Thor was able to block Hulk's hammer punch (though with difficulty) and was strong enough to spin Hulk around with a punch. That's still a pretty good strength showing. My point was, he was unable to do any of those stuff with Kurse, which is what makes me rate Kurse stronger than Hulk, which is why I'm unsure who's stronger between Kurse and Zod.

OP says no flight, so Zod doesn't really have a speed or mobility advantage.
Prior to his flight, Zod was jumping around and crawling on building somewhat like Hulk, which is why I gave him mobility advantage.
Though come to think of it, did Zod ever display any speed feats that weren't him flying? I know Faora had some speed feats minus flying but can't remember Zod doing any.
I think Kurse will win due to attrition. Zod's gonna be whoopin his for awile unless he catches a backhand like something thats faster and more durable than he is did. Then his little floppy neck that Kryptonian super soldiers apparently get might get damaged. I love how Zod mentioned twice that soldiers were made for fighting and then promptly get beatdown by a scientist and a person who had been in one fight their entire life.
So Kurse>kryptonian bum>janitor>farmer>scientist> super elite soldier.
One is a stoic, well disciplined death machine that doesent need to get in a hurry.. The other one is a complete emotional wreck that cant focus on his fights.

Fair enough.
I don't remember any either.
