I was look at those scans of Odin vs Thanos and it occurs to me that Odin was winning because of the fact he was a more powerful Cosmic Wielder. I think it would have been a hell of a better fight if the powers were put aside. Also I think Odin was also getting the upper hand because he was in Asgard so maybe that played a factor to So I would like to see Odin and Thanos in a desert no powers no staffs and no Asgard. Hand to Hand.I also believe the Current Thanos is more powerful then the one Odin fought.
Should Odin be chained to a chair as well, since you're taking away almost all his power?
This is reminding me of those various Thing vs. Superman threads (How about this! With a twist!...)

No energy projection or anything on both sides? Things are still not easy for Thanos, who is just an average h2h combatant. Odin has millenia of experience as a fighting warrior.

Frankly, I don't think either of them could win. I think the reason they both came out blasting was that they knew that no amount of physical pummelling could finish either one of them. You cant beat a cosmic powered Eternal to death, and Odin was able to stalemate Surtur in hand to hand.

I say formidable doesn't mean great. Odin still has a h2h edge I believe.
