He's not weakened or anything...his depictions have been weak if you get my drift. He was pretty impressive in the modern gods arc when properly motivated though. Just don't think the current version is up to classic levels. Although Hercs strength level varies wildly
Mongul probably edges him out in the strength department, but it's not by leaps and bounds. If Mongul were 100, Hercules would be about 90-95.
All around toughness goes to Hercules due to his immortality, which grants him several immunities that mortals do not have, even ones as tough as Mongul.
Fighting skills go to Hercules as well. His entire theme is about being a skilled warrior.
These guys are certainly in the same weight class.

What were these feats? Mongul Junior's 1st appearance was in 1980 so this was definitely Pre-Crisis which happened in 1986, but what were his feats at that time? Hercules helped shake a planet while arm wrestling Thor, so to say Mongul Jr. stomps means that he had to have been slapping planets out of their solar orbits with ease. Since PG can't answer this, anyone that can should.
