I think IM w/ his nanosuit could solo Thanos to be honest. He gave a 4-stone Thanos one hell of a fight. Remove those stones and give Thanos no weapons and I don't see what he can do to IM if IM just continuously bombards him from a distance.
Of course if IM gets dumbed down by the writers and makes him fight Thanos in h2h then he'll obviously lose.

What weapons does the nano-suit 2.0 have that could take down Thanos?
Lasers and arc blasts probably. And as long as IM stays out of range, he can hit Thanos with as many hand blasts as he can and see if it softens Thanos up. I doubt a few will hurt Thanos, but I wouldn't be willing to be that Thanos can just lay there all day and take everything that IM throws at him without injury.
I realize Thanos had his sword and armor here, but just look at the sheer ease he disposed of Iron Man and Thor here. He threw Iron Man once and basically KO'd him. Thor was a ragdoll.
In this fight Thanos doesn't have any weapons or armor.
I just rewatched both scenes (IW and EG).
It seems Thanos had to block Tony's beam with the gauntlet to prevent damage.
It seems that Tony was able to pierce Thanos skin with a kick and that Thanos HAD to catch the blade in order to prevent himself from being stabbed.
So the beam can damage Thanos (forget the laser) and the blade can stab through him.
With that said it would be hard Thanos to focus on one when he's fighting both. I see Thanos either being beamed down from a distance (like Ultron was) or being stabbed by one of them in a vital area (neck maybe).
The beam he blocked with the sword was a beam amped by Thor. Iron Man doesnt have that luxury here. Also, Thanos isnt going to stand there and just let them unload on him. He'll take cover and devise something to bring them in close. The most likely scenario is that he grabs Pepper somehow and uses her against Toney emotionally.
He'll receive damage but should win without to much trouble.

How is he grabbing anyone if they are blasting him from a distance?
And if he grabs one of them (not likely) then the other will stab him through or just fly away with him.
Once again, Thanos isnt going to just stand there and allow them to blast him from a distance. He's not that dumb. He'll take cover to force the fight in closer corners.
Fly away with him? 😆
So if he grabs Pepper and threatens to rip her head off, Toney's just going to stab him through? Lol.
With the armor and sword, its spite. Without, he'll have to work for it, but he should win every time.

Dunno man, Iron Man did throw everything at Thanos and from a pure durability standpoint, all that happened was a minor cut on Thanos' face.
I know IM has the newer suit for this, just not sure it's amped to the point it will make much of a difference considering Thanos' durability.

Yes but Thanos used his gauntlet to block or evade majority of those attacks. He wouldn't have bothered doing so unless they could harm him.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the gauntlet this time around, so the question we should be asking is what would have happened if every one of those attacks landed?
After all, both Thor's and Cap's lightning hurt Thanos. And while IM's firepower isn't at Thor's level, and wouldn't be too sure that Thanos could just tank it forever either.

Fair enough on the blocking via gauntlet.I might be overrating Thanos' durability, while super high, maybe not as high as I'm thinking.
Would you say he's more durable than Thor?
It's tricky to answer. I think it's fairly clear that from a pure physical standpoint, Thanos should be stronger and tougher than Thor. But at the same time, Thanos doesn't quite have the same durability feats as Thor.
I'd put him above Thor in durability but not by much, and that's just me guessing based on implied power levels. I do know that Thanos can still get hurt. He was hurt by Thor's and Cap's lightning, he was feeling Carol's punches, IM got him to bleed, and he was also hurt by Wanda slowly crushing him, and Wanda hadn't yet unlocked her Scarlet Witch power up at that point.
So while I don't think IM has anything that can oneshot Thanos even with a direct hit, I also don't think Thanos can withstand a continuous assault from IM's firepower.
