doubtful of those first two. Drax has (on more than one occasion) hurt/kept up with Gladiator and did better against Angela that Gamora did iirc. There's also that showing where Gamora got hit by emma frost and failed rather hilariously to kill a holding back winter soldier.
Drax is busy fistfighting with one of the fastest and strongest herald level character in Marvel while Gamora is busy trying and failing to beat people that should be beneath her. She's like the female version of Karnak.

she has speed feats well beyond his--even moves as a blur and has some multiple image movement feats. speed is almost certainly in her favor unless you have some drax speed feats that compare. and you can talk low feats (which isn't the best way to compare characters of course) but she has also recently beat the hell out of carol and has beaten she-hulk in the past. storm has also handled bp in h2h, so clearly storm isn't a great barometer as low feats go. and glads was toying with drax and ended him pretty effortlessly when he was done playing. show some of drax better feats instead of low balling. until then i'd take gamora for a very solid majority here.
If by "handled" you mean that she landed several hits while he was explicitly holding back and he was even the one that broke off the fight, then yeah, she "handled" him. Btw, Storm herself acknowledges that BP would be the death of her if he was fighting all out in h2h. (please log in to view the image)
in your first post, you said that she was stronger. As long as drax can draw blood from gladiator, injure Angela, and beat on Thanos, he's not weaker than her. Not by a longshot.
Gamora only managed to land one solid hit vs drax's two. The very moment that he hit her, she was out like a lightbulb and they even had enough time to talk about where they were before she got back up. The saddest part is that Gamora got solidly taken down with one hit and was about to die before the rest of the team showed up and saved her. Hell, Angela wasn't even using her ribbons in that fight. Gamora simply got trashed in pure h2h/swordplay.
Meanwhile, Drax is a legit contender even when Angela is going all out. It wouldn't be unfair to say that Drax, while clearly outclassed, still did better against Angela than Thor did. https://m.imgur.com/gallery/gX6tr
Take note of how Angela's actually using her ribbons in this fight.
Oh, and as far as skill goes, he casually oneshotted moondragon. (please log in to view the image)

that feat and battle alone is better than anything drax has to offer. she blitzes him more than once, and even grapples with him evenly. her durability in the battle is crazy.
she also fought angela for 6 pages in her intro book. drax's fights with angela were much shorter. counting hits is....strange. different styles of fights altogether. i'd call the angela fights about even in the way they did. he was well definitely gonna die in the second one before gamora stepped in, but i hadn't seen that fight and it was a good showing for him. still gamora held her own just as long.
she's also fought evenly with maxam for a prolonged period of time, and he's in herc's strength class.
after seeing the second fight with angela, i'd call strength a basic wash.
a crazy feat that even drax acknowledges. he also couldn't have replicated the feat.
skill, speed, durability are all firmly on her side imo. strength is a wash. she should be able to end this easily enough with simple nerve strikes for a heavy majority.

not sure what that is....or for whom. anyway, its h2h. in the ronan fight there was also a time where she had him beat and was dragging him away. she could have killed him with her sword then had she wanted to end it.
the thanos/drax showing is one i tend not to place much stock in. too much tied into his 'destiny' and such. cool feat, and one i don't think anyone else could have done, but because he was drax, not because he was omgz-powerful.
gamora has also gotten the better of terrax in single combat, though to be fair, terrax wasn't 100%. still a very good showing given terrax's power.

Because you asked for blur feats. That's an effective use of blur against someone higher than Gamora has ever beat or even done good against.
Anyway, Gamora has looked like shit ever since DnA left. She is portrayed lower than she was pre Annihilation, and I'm not even sure she has any skill feats anymore. Certainly no more pressure points.
Drax on the other hand has been portrayed as somewhat consistent ever since his resurrection. I think Annihilation and DnA Gamora would probably beat Drax, but you'd have to dig pretty far up your nose to find feats for her after DnA where she could take Drax.
She is a shell of her former self. I don't even know why she's considered dangerous anymore. And if you decide to amalgamate all her forms (which technically she should be the same level, but she clearly is not portrayed as such), then it certainly opens her up to all her limitations as of present.
solid speed feats for sure. I'm willing to concede that she's probably faster than him, but not by so much that she could blitz him or even dance around his attacks. Let's keep in mind, those aliens that she blitzed in the first scan were normal cannon fodder. Drax still blitzed a Cardinal of the Church of Truth.
Also, Gamora has significantly lower end showings than Drax and they've been happening more consistently recently. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPmu0K0ku...1600/RCO008.jpg
I like how, without even looking and whilst fighting Carol, Tony still has the time to easily oneshotted Gamora.
As for how I brought up the number of hits, Drax managed to land hits with his fists, verses Gamora landing a hit with her sword (after she had to be saved). Guess what they're using in this fight?
Also, this is the feat that Bran's talking about. https://static.comicvine.com/upload...drax_04_010.jpg
IIRC, Lunatik fought pretty evenly with a full avengers lineup and has been getting more powerful since then.

not sure why you're so high on the glads showing--glads literally says he's toying with him. fighting (and beating at one point) ronan for 13 pages and taking what he was dishing out>>>smacking around a glads who is just playing... is glads>ronan? sure, probably. but that weapon would definitely be a threat to him and he wouldn't be playing with ronan. i mean drax followed up angela's attack with a sucker shot in the second scan. not seeing any real value in the glads's scans i'm afraid.
i disagree too with the idea that she couldn't dance around drax. i'd def say she was capable of it--and is at least ENOUGH faster that she could disable him with nerve strikes that shut down ronan, grimm and rage (near cl100) as well as thanos. not sure how he avoids being shut down in this type of battle when it's been shown repeatedly that is one of her go-to moves.
the angela fight happened in her intro--no one knew what she was capable of, so there is that. she still fought her relatively evenly for a lengthy time. getting in hits is meaningless when they were parrying with swords, so not getting where you're going. if she fought angela h2h, she'd obviously have gotten shots in, so.... /shrug
the lunatik feat is pretty good. no idea what level he's at currently, but solid. i still don't see him winning this though. he'd have to punch her out by beating on her for a long time. she has some great durability feats. haven't seen any from him and all she needs is one nerve strike to end it. when someone has to land a bunch of blows, and the other only needs one, and that one is faster and more skilled? i'll take the latter almost every time.
If you want me to talk about a feat that isn't the gladiator one, I'd be glad to. I can talk about how Drax was capable of hurting Fin Fang Foom when freaking terrax was struggling. https://static.comicvine.com/upload...-+drax+%235.jpg
In all the time I followed Gamora her highest feat was breaking her own sword while trying to stab Thanos off panel. Seriously, this broad gets massive amounts of lip service but rarely shows off the goods. Her speed and power showings are really not all that diferent from what Drax himself has shown.
Drax in the other hand has a very oddly defined powerset, sometimes he's one-shotting bricks with no problems and other times he gets tooled by Nova Prime. But he has some stupid feats for his tier, like killing one of Annihilus consorts (one of them was capable of putting Firelord in a comma) or beating one of the Cardinals from the Universal Truth one on one or beating the Luminals or standing his ground vs Maelstrom. His feats of plowing through the Annihilation Wave alone are very impressive.
Going by feats Drax could casually beat Gamora after a brief scuffle.
