I do think he's doing this thing a lot of people do by equivocating cross-company powerhouse characters as well as ignoring differences in power between those in the same company, but per his intent Blue Marvel is "merely" meant to be on par with other high-powered comic heroes, like Thor.
^He said that Thor > BM in an interview once. Tbf, I think strength is a wash. When Adam punched Namor, he pointed out that only Hulk and Thor had ever hit him as hard.
Anyways, Thor wins. Classic Thor is AT LEAST as strong as BM. Adam's other advantage is that he's an Anti-Matter living reactor. Whipping out energy powers against Mjolnir is just a bad idea and that's he's only trump card.
Honestly, I think Adam would probably fair worse than Gladiator because of the obvious energy powers. Kevin will always have a special place in my heart for writing the short-story of Thor whipping the shit out of Hulk and this:

When later explaining his statement, it's predominantly a case of a very inflated opinion of how gods should be portrayed.
