This fight took place in Thor #411-412. The Juggernaut was teleported from prison into
the middle of a New York street by Loki. Cain had no idea why he was freed
or by who but he figured it was for the simple purpose to trash someone.
Intuitive chap he is. He concludes that if he wreaked a little havok his unknown target
would come to him. So after a little property damage he finds what must be his
mission. The Mighty Thor.
Thor requests authoritatively that Cain cease and desist. To which The Juggernaut politely responded with a backhand strong enough to send Thor rocketing a city block. 
He then followed up by throwing a car at him which Thor sent back with his hammer. Seeing that too easily deflected,The Juggernaut decides to test Thor a little harder by hurling a bus full of people at him. Thor uses Mjolnir to create a whirlwind to carry the bus to safety.
At this point Thor experiences a wave of nausea and weakness that had
been plaguing him of late. He grew so weak it took all of his strength to catch the train boxcar
that was being hurled at him. And The Juggernaut didn't give him a breather,immediately smashing another
boxcar into him. Then as Cain began pushing aside the debris to uncover Thor he's
met with a nasty surprise in the form of a Thor straight which knocks him off his feet.
He compliments Thor on a good punch but informs him that Thor can't hurt him. Fed up and frustrated
the thunder god hurls his hammer "for the glory of Asgard" at The Juggernaut.
Cain laughs as his personal forcefield easily halts Mjolnir dead in it's tracks before it ever touches him. Cain sees Mjolnir turn and change direction and surmises that it must be returning to Thor's hand because that's what he'd read that Thor's hammer was supposed to do. The Juggernaut then grabs the hammer and rides it back to
Thor for a vicious shot that knocks Thor through 5
train cars,about 100 yards,through a building wall,and out cold. And thus ends the one-on-one portion of your regularly scheduled program.
The Juggernaut is about to finish Thor off when the New Warriors-Nova,Marvel Boy/Justice,Namorita,Night Thrasher,Speedball and Firestar
showed up. They attack Cain and learn the same thing Thor just had:that nothing can stop him. But they did expose
Juggy's short attention span who after the entertainment the New Warriors provided no longer seemed interested
in Thor and started away. Having now regained consciousness thanks to the respite the New Warriors earned him Thor rejoined the battle. A crackle of lightning alerts The Juggernaut of his return and on seeing Thor conscious again Cain then says he's going to squeeze the life out of Thor. As The Juggernaut approaches him to do just that Thor kneels down seemingly in prayer. The Juggernaut asks Thor what he's doing and Thor says he's calling upon the heavens. Thor's "prayer" unleashes a terrible lightning bolt from the
clear sky to strike down The Juggernaut. The New Warriors are stunned by Thor's display of power because it does not look like anything could have survived such a phenomenon. But when the dust settles,Cain stands only amused.
The Juggernaut says the bolt tickled and mockingly asks Thor to give him another as he marches toward Thor again to crush him. Finally getting an idea of just what he's up against Thor pulls out his ultimate and most extreme ability. Thor summons the very godforce that flows through him and combines it with all the power of his enchanted hammer and releases the two combined energies as one unimaginibly powerful beam. As Thor states before unleashing it upon The Juggernaut,this attack has driven away Galactus himself and even given pause to a Celestial.
Even this ultimate assault cannot harm The Juggernaut but it does do the impossible. It temporarily pushes The Unstoppable Juggernaut backwards. However the surprised Cain regathers himself and begins to struggle against the godly blast to push forward,but the two opposing forces are too great and the ground itself gives way before we can see which force would prevail. As he falls into the crevasse The Juggernaut says it wasn't fair and that he would have won. Namorita and Nova begin filling the crevasse up with steel girders and Firestar melts them down to seal Juggernaut in a cocoon when it cooled. Thor realizes not even this can hold The Juggernaut long so he quickly uses Mjolnir to teleport the cocoon the Juggernaut is molded into to another dimension before he can break out since the they had no way of stopping him. Thor is proven right as The Juggernaut explodes free from the cocoon just moments later but Juggernaut realizes he was too late. The team had managed to send him away in time.
