this is thanos without isng his infinity stones. basically the way he was when he fought hulk. i will just remind that kurse in thor the dark world, easily overpowered and was destroying thor physically. what do you think?
So what you're trying to say is, you're using movie versions here.

Gonna go with Thanos after a good fight. Kurse was impressive stronger and more durable than Thor. He even got pierced through the chest, but continued as if nothing had happened. Kurse would put up a better fight than Hulk did, but given the very little screentime he had, it's really hard to side with him over Thanos.
The IG seems to be portrayed as more of an external weapon in the movie than something that actually powers Thanos. And it appears that using it may weaken Thanos explaining why he struggles a bit later in the movie agains the heroes. Go to 32:23 of the interview:
