IronMan wins suckas! Next up:
The Defenders
Vs.
Drax
Who you got peeps?
GOTG
The five core members would be able to handle him but with Nebula and Yondu by their side, it's a sure fire victory. Pretty sure that Drax and Gamora can somewhat match his strength and with the overwhelming attacks from the rest of the members, they would be able to put him down.
I mean, Drax and/or Gamora could withhold Blonsky long enough for Peter to disable one of his arms with one of his electrical traps like he did with Thanos.
The thing about Mantis putting Thanos to sleep is they have a guy by the name of Dr. Strange to help her get to her spot. Without him, I don't see how she gets close to him. As much as I hate to agree with Incali, I got Abomination and really thought it wouldn't even be close.Guardians but only just. Yondu's arrow would probably hurt Abomination a little. I doubt Rocket Gamora and Quill's weapons would have any great effect. The real MVP is Mantis, because her sleep touch attack doesn't rely on strength or physical power, she temporarily KOs Abomination and the others finish him off. Groot is going to be little more than a distraction and if Ronan could manhandle Drax, the Abomination is going to absolutely smash him - Abomination went toe to toe with the Hulk and did quite respectably.
I must disagree as to statements about Gamora's strength - she has one strength feat, and some decent fighting skill feats, but nothing to even remotely suggest she's in the same league as Abomination. Again, he went toe to toe with the Hulk. When Thanos faced GOTG he was also fighting Iron Man, Spider Man and Dr Strange. Had it been GOTG alone I have little doubt they would have been killed. In that battle Drax was little more than a distraction who clung to Thanos' ankle.
I think people are massively overrating Drax who doesn't have many impressive combat feats against anyone but henchmen, despite being super tough - Ronan kicked his ass easily.
Without Mantis the Guardians lose this one, but with her they win at least 7 out of 10 times.

Thanos really wasn't trying to kill anyone either. He was toying around with people. Blonsky doesn't play around at all. I can see him going for the kill at once.Well, given the Guardians all have jetpacks for mobility and Drax, Quill, Rocket , Groot, Gamora, Yondu and Nebula could all attack at once to distract Blonksy, I see it as possible for Mantis to get close.
Thanos is another level or two up from Blonsky, so without Strange they never would have caught him. Here I see the Guardians with a more than even chance, but without Mantis no way.

Of course they will vote GotG! They wear clothes! Who would vote for a naked man beast that kills!?Disagree. Thanos was definitely trying to kill them - which is why he blew up a moon and threw it at them. The only reason he didn't manage to kill anyone was that he was facing multiple opponents at once - 6 on 1, who attacked from all sides in hit and run tactics. It would have been tough for anyone, even the universe's greatest murderer, to land a killing blow in the middle of that.
He didn't kill Strange because he knew Strange was hiding the time stone - he was going to kill Tony, but didn't because Strange made a deal for the stone.
Blonsky lacks Thanos speed and appears to lose most of his fighting skills as Abomination - I mean, imagine if Cap had Hulk's strength and durability, he'd be almost unbeatable. While he is a killer, landing a killing blow against 6 mobile opponents is very hard.
Anyway, we'll see how people vote.

They might be not be in the same ballpark as Blonsky but they would be able to withhold him long enough for the Guardians to disable him. Peter and Rocket have various traps in their arsenal to disable his arms and that would leave him wide open for Mantis to come in. Yondu could probably help by blinding Blonsky with his arrow.Guardians but only just. Yondu's arrow would probably hurt Abomination a little.
