Look, it's pretty damn simple. He wasn't going for the kill, hence he was holding back. Thanos is a villain/anti-hero type, in the forum matches, he can go all out despite CIS/CIP rules.

Wolverine held back against Huntsman of Zeus, too, for the exact same reason - could've killed Huntsman right after outfighting him, but didn't.

Read. This explains why Thanos didn't continue pounding on Bill. The point is, Thanos hit Bill just as much and Bill was conscious moments later.

Technically, you're not going all out when you're not going for the kill.

It's in Thanos' character to go for the kill.

Nah thats not right.
Characters going all out happens all the time without them going for the kill.

You can go all out without killing someone. You're basically saying that every hero that doesn't kill their opponent is holding back.

Because they are. But it's in their characters to refrain from killing, not in Thanos'.

WTF.....

If a character is going all out AND IT'S WITHIN THEIR POWER TO KILL THEIR OPPONENT and they don't, then they weren't going all out, they were holding back. Thanos was holding the **** back. A LOT. You are acting just as stubborn as you were when you were insisting that Thanos was scared of Gladiator and about 100 posters told you were wrong, then you finally admitted you were after Thanos beat the hell out of him.

Definitely not seeing eye to eye with you and Stilt on this.
Its an interesting take on the subject though.

I can see where this is going.
Don't want any part of this... Yet.
But I can kind of see the logic in both arguments.
And, it might b good to get a final ruling from the mods, since it DOES have a big impact on a good chunk of match-ups in here.

Villains, Heroes and the characters lurking in the "Gray Area" between.
Who is going full-out, (kill or no kill)?
Who is holding back, (to prevent a kill)?
Who could be going either way, (depending on thier mood)?
And, what kind of "handicap" does this present, to be factored into a debate, in order to get the most accurate outcome?

But, like I said, I don't want any part of this.

Every battle Hulk has loss, I can simply say he was holding back when he loss said fight. Every Superman fight, every Thor fight, every Bill fight...even his fight against Thanos...every Surfer fight. If their opponent isn't dying or near death, said character was holding back.

so you are just trolling after it been proven Thanos said it was just a little exercise.

Warlock pretty much said Thanos was in a killing state.

Dude, the feats he's had dwarf Monica's. And again, he saved her, then upgraded her powers.

I changed my mind. Marvel earth- Wiccan, Magik, Graviton, Shaman X-man, Strange.
