I think an easy way to look at Thanos stories is that anything written by Jim Starlin, Ron Marz and Keith Giffen is the real Thanos while anything written by other authors should be dismissed as a Thanosi clone.

he beat him recently too
it was a stronger than usual juggernaut as well
True, however the showing itself was fairly pathetic for both parties involved.
Thor was getting beaten like a drum, had zero power without his hammer and nearly died by falling on some random spikes, then he called for all the knock-off hammers he made and started breaking them on Marko's face until he went down.
"Juggernaut vs Thor", an era when Marvel still had respect for Thor. I know that statement would likely get "eye rolls" from writers. But there was a time when Thor was Marvel's (subtle?) analog to Superman. Thor going toe to toe with Cain Marko was more indicative of that era.

As far as I’m concerned Thor lost this fight. Physically he got his ass handed to him. Juggy tossed him around like he was a rag doll. Thor always had a fight on his hands with the Juggernaut. Even when Thor negated his force field Juggernaut held his own. Thor even paid him a compliment. They should be evenly matched physically.
The indignity to Thor was when the Immortal Hulk cracked his melon wiping the floor with him and the entire Avengers.
Thor, hulk, juggernaut should all be a test for each other, and in terms of a pure brawl I have no issues with any winner, so long as it's a good showing all round
Imo juggernaut is the villain hulk (well at least when hulk isn't that)
They are all in the same weight class for me it only become difficult to read when Thor draws on the huge range of other powers he had and they don't show he is much more than just a blunt instrument brawler
The hammer negating the force field was a class move, if only for a few more seconds
And when Thor pushed him back with the god blast
That was magnificent
