The Rhino may be I believe 8 - 9 times Spidey's strength, but is also the biggest loser in the MU. Spider-man has a great edge in speed and agility, and even if O'Hirn got some respect then it's not like we'd be talking about the Hulk here. So who comes out on top?

I did use the search but I never saw this one on it.

He actually beat Spidey for once, took over half of the city's criminal operations, rewrote Hamlet, and won a restraining order against Peter.
He also deduced Spidey's secret identity.

Actually, he has beaten Spidey more than once, spared his life too. And this kinda things tends to leave Spidey rather traumatized, for whatever the reasons:

Dude, you should be really, really GLAD that the Rhino doesn't trounce you every time you fight him, thanks to your Jobber Aura.
Fact is, the times when Pete has been touched by Rhino there's been some sort of plot device involved. We know Pete can hurt Rhino, because he's done it numerous times. And without some sort of building falling, innocent to save, or other distractions, Rhino should never lay a hand on Spidey.
Also, CIS isn't thrown out the door in forum battles, so that needs to be taken into consideration.
Spider-man is an odd case, sometimes he has a Jobber Aura that defeats guys like Electro, Sandman or Rhino (who are WAY out of his league) and sometimes he jobs to people like Dr. Octopus.
Rhino has some degree of superspeed, y'know? He's faster than he looks, even Spidey himself says so.
Yeah, for the same reason Captain America can KO Hulk in 2 punches: PIS of the worst kind.
Not even CIS is enough to justify Rhino's loserdom, it has more to do with PIS.
Spider-Man constantly beats Rhino because he's a hell of a lot faster and smarter than him, he uses his own abilities and the environment and puts him down almost every time.
Rhino getting one win out of god knows how many was bound to happen at some point. The smart Rhino story was different as Rhino was virtually a completely different person.
