Indeed, he can be stunned - so more power would KO him (he was pretty much dazed and senseless by supersonic hits).
Would or should? The correct wording is should be knocked out. Since I never saw him in that state, there is a possibility that he would not be knocked out. This also depends on how much power we are talking about. Does this version of Thanos have the power to knock him out? That's all that I am saying here.

'Should'? Well, for doubt to enter your mind, then there must be something that kicks in to protect Eiling from getting KOed, whether it be his HF, or something else.
Then you'd have to wonder why it didn't protect him from punches from Superman/WW.
I take your point on Thanos' power level. THAT is worth debating on. But I fully believe that Eiling CAN be KOed, as he has been shown to be dazed and confused, reeling punch drunk from Superman/WW.

Sorry got busy. Superman and Wonder Woman punched him in tandem, and yes it did daze him, but it didn't put him out. Those are two heavy hitters though. It's not as if he was hit by Aquaman and Nu Blue Beetle. I know that Thanos can lay down some heavy damage, but his best punches are usually laced with energy. For now I'm taking as neutral a stance and giving both the benefit of doubt. I see your point loud and clear because Thanos can hit extremely hard, and can take more than he gives if we consider his match with a doppelganger that was touted to be his physical superior. Not to mention taking Odin's hits which were easily capable of one shot dealing with the Surfer. If you believe that he could KO Eiling, I'll go with it, but I don't think that it would be a one shot.

It would have been even if the General didn't have a healing factor.
Well, if this is virtually the same Thanos as we saw up until the Infinity Quest, I would look at how Thanos had to resort to trickery in order to obtain the Champion's power gem. He had no desire or ability to simply overpower the Champion, even though, up until destroying that planet, Champion's on-panel showings would never have placed him in a top- tier position.
Yet, Thanos, rather than simply defeating Champion and taking the gem, chose to go through an elaborate plan, which left Champion at his mercy through no force from Thanos.
My guess would be that Champion was too much for Thanos. And in my opinion the General would defeat any incarnation of Champion.
Just thinking out- loud.

No.

I think that your perspective on things is slightly skewed. The Champion was going at it for some time against an alien army before Thanos actually arrived on scene. This gave him time to adjust to the Power Gem. Moreover, the Champion has been portrayed differently several times during his limited appearances. There are times that he has been shown to possess near mastery over the gem which was seen when he trained Titania, and times that he appeared to know very little about how to tap into the gems full potential, which never made much sense to me. I mean, how can you be in possession of the PG for hundreds if not thousands of years, and only be able to use it on the level that Thor was using it?
Even Thor in a mentally deranged state was able to threaten all of existence while in possession of the gem according to on panel citation. Thanos was facing a Champion that knew how to use the gem, but was simply outwitted by Thanos. The General would never be able to defeat the Champion that faced off against Thanos. Just take a step back and recall exactly what those shields of Thanos were able to protect him from. Galactus, and Omega. The Champion, was putting out quite a bit of power if you think about it when he made Thanos' shields buckle with punches.
