If Thor fell off a bridge and got koed from the fall and Mangog struggle to knock him out in the same book, I would use that against him. What do you mean? Especially if these scene constantly happened.
Did you read the comics? The Asgardians were written very weak (human level).
I'm just pointing out the double standards when posters cry about DOS DD low showings while ignoring his high showings (which contradict them) but ignoring Thor and the Asgardian low showings while putting Mangog on a pedestal.
I'm on their side when they win. Smurph is limiting Doomsday to a story where he he's barely a city-level threat, and he's giving Thor her entire arsenal of feats. Doomsday succumbed to blows many orders of magnitude below what Thor ditched out against Odin.
Doomsday would he dead before the impact would lift his feet off the ground.
Hulk struggles with snakes, Superman just asks a new pet from krypton to kill him.
You're so easily impressed. Even pre DOS Superman was flunged hundreds of lightyears across and was merely knocked out.
What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with the Death of Superman arc. Moreover, Superman is not even taking a hit, or whatever you're trying to pass this scene off as.
The scene you posted is from Action Comics #664, and it's a direct continuation from Adventures of Superman #477 where Superman is flung back in time after the Sun-Eater explodes.
Even if you want to argue that this is some kind of durability feat, it's not part of the Death of Superman arc. Furthermore, it doesn't change the fact that Superman's fight against Doomsday was on a level so far beneath Thor's battle with Odin that Doomsday couldn't even be considered a threat to Thor.

But...the scans you posted seem to contradict you....
As Superman was in fire, and stated a force, which would have destroyed anyone lesser than Superman, flung him to here
I mean he's not taking a physical blow as would've been delivered by Doomsday or Thor. If you want to be technical then sure, he survived the explosion of the Sun-Eater.
That said, it says it would've "such a journey would've destroyed a lesser man," what that means is that it would've killed anyone weaker. Moreover, note how is explicitly specifies the journey, not the explosion.
But you can't quantify this in any meaningful capacity because Superman is flung through time and space. You certainly can't infer from this alone that he would've survived a blow from Thor. Even the trajectory isn't as sharp nor is the impact as devastating as the ones generated by Thor and Odin.
But more importantly, this has nothing to do with the Death of Superman arc.

Not disagreeing with your other point, I just thought saying he didn't take any hit seems a bit strange( sounds to me like he didn't take any damage at all. But the scans seems to show otherwise).
