BG1's "The Rightful and Righteous King" Edge:

This is a very tough one to call - I take it that because Thragg is invulnerable, this is a battle to see whether Captain Britain can force Thragg into retreat or Thragg can simply kill Captain Britain and to me, I think Captain Britain actually may take this if I may go against the current grain. As far as I see it, Thragg has only been fighting with people of his type - the Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man - whereas Captain Britain has been fighting a wider variety of threats that have existed in the Marvel Universe - from Skrulls to the Phoenix Force, from home-grown threats in Britain and Avalon to the Red Skull (alongside Captain America) and mutants such as Fantomex - as well as having experience both fighting solo and as part of a team (such as with Captain America, Excalibur, MI:13 and the Secret Avengers). In other words, I think that despite Thragg's training and brutish strength, healing and durability, Captain Britain will be able to outwit and outfight him in ways that the Viltrumite will not be able to expect. Also, Thragg's weakness may be easier to exploit than Braddock's considering that Braddock's weakness requires Thragg to really inflict pain on him both physically and psychologically, which may not work because Braddock has faced enemies just as strong and as threatening as him and thus his dogged will to survive will keep him going; on the other hand, Thragg's weakness can be exploited (though not easily) as it is physical and it will simply require some spark of scientific genius in Braddock to know what he needs to do in order to ruin Thragg's ear balancing thing and knock him out.

In short, I think that despite Thragg having great strength, a durable body, a healing factor and a very intense Spartan-like upbringing with great training in "all known forms of combat [to Viltrumites]", Captain Britain, as a very battle-hardened individual with an indomitable will to keep on fighting and powers that put him almost even with Thragg, will be sure to send him flying back home. And to those who say he hasn't got a great degree of offensive capabilities? Maybe defence is the best offence in this case.
