He could go into true Warriors Madness (amps strength x10; for the record Blood and Thunder Thor was NOT in "true" Warriors Madness), equip his Belt of Strength (doubles his strength; he is effectively at x20 strength at this point), and equip his Asgardian Battle Armor (ups his durability) and absolutely overwhelm Thanos physically...
Or he could simply 1 shot Thanos with Soul Suck...
I've always maintained that Thor is fully capable of defeating Thanos; CIS holds him back, but if he isnt holding back and is out for blood, Thor can (and would) definitely defeat Thanos...

1. I don't think you can equate a non holding back to warrior madness.
2. Op didn't say anything about getting his belt or armor he doesn't normally wear.
3. I can't imagine the soul suck working on deaths avatar.
Other than that... Carry on.

A few things. I like a match up of Classic Thor fighting smart vs Thanos. The problem I have with the Thor side is that while the attacks could work in theory, Thanos would be on the offensive as well. He's not standing there patiently waiting while Thor preps a godblast for example. He'd attack Thor's mind, use his own cosmic blasts or if it gets up close and personal, hit him with amped up punches. This isn't a Thanos durability gauntlet, he's fighting too.
Is this a bad joke or just your typical Thor wanking? Thor has next to no chance to beat Thanos in a 1 v 1 encounter. Thor has NEVER beaten Thanos.. EVER.. even WITH amps he hasn't been able to beat him. Thanos on the other hand... even the weakest version of Thanos.. has essentially two shot Thor. There is ZERO evidence that in ANY of their meeting Thor was holding back at all. Thus, this non holding back thing is a moot point. Fighting smart changes next to nothing. Thor doesn't bring anything to the table that Thanos can't counter and Thanos is simply more powerful in virtually ever way.
Thor and Surfer fights in a completely different fashion just like Surfer and Supes fight differently. Even though they are all in the same tier Superman and Thor would give Thanos a better fight than what Surfer could give him...its just that simple just like Surfer would give any brick a better fight than Thor.
Again can somebody post ANY scan saying that when Thor has met Thanos he ws holding back? It doesn't exist, and thus, everytime they have met nad Thanos has dominated him ... it was already a non holding back Thor.
