I think Thanos would win a fistfight, his physical strength is honestly pretty insane, even aside from pummeling the **** out of the Hulk, he was physically matching the combined might of Spiderman (who caught Cull Obsidian's strike without the iron spider suit, and Cull Obsidian was throwing down with an upgraded Hulkbuster suit and tearing it apart), and Mark 50 Iron Man (who might honestly have comparable physical might to people like Thor and Hulk in this set of armor), while being subdued by the telepathic powers of someone who subdued ego. Also tearing through vibranium with his fingers.

The question is how effective Hela's necroswords would be against him, considering the fact that it took Stormbreaker to seriously injure him and it didn't even impale him all that deeply, it didn't cleave all the way through his body and Thor could push it further in than it originally went. One could legitimately make the argument that her blades wouldn't mean much to him, maybe one of those large ass spikes she used to impale Surtur, but with those Thanos almost certainly has the speed to evade them.

It also comes into question whether or not Thanos has any other powers aside from his brawler capabilities. This is pure speculation on my part, but I find it doubtful Thanos doesn't have other energy type attacks at his disposal. He's capable of wielding the Stones more effectively than anyone else whose been shown with them for the most part, which includes Malekith who has some kinda mystical power on his own and is intimately familiar with the Aether, so I find it doubtful he doesn't have some energy projection abilities. He also presumably trained Ebony Maw who can wield telekinetic powers, and Ebony Maw practically worships Thanos's strength even without the Stones. And to top it all off, Thanos is clearly familiar with the mystic arts given his ability to use the mystic arts to wield the Soul Stone. Again that's all largely speculation.

The problem here is you're not taking into consideration Hela's healing powers. If h2h combat is the only thing Thanos is capable of then that's not going to be enough to take out Hela. And Hela's necroswords were capable of piercing Thor, giant Surtur and Korg's spaceship. At this point if someone wants to claim that Thanos is impervious to them it would fall on them to prove it.
