I see the connection to these two (both just thriving for battle) but I think Olaf vs Tryndamere would be a more proper battle and comparison (since both become stronger when they get low). Anyway though, I'll give my opinion (if you're intrested).

I'll say Olaf, simply because Olaf wants the fight to drag out, as it benefits him. Pantheon on the other hand, is more based on bursting someone down through spamming his skills. He can be played tanky as well as having damage but still, Olaf can tank and do more than considerable amounts of damage. Pantheon's damage output just doesn't seem enough to take down Olaf.

Now, I know that Pantheon's auto attacks and spear throws automatically become critical strikes if the target is below a certain number in HP and that Olaf benefits when his HP low as I wrote above but I don't believe Pantheon can bring down Olaf to the point where the ensured crit will finish him off since his w ability gives him lifesteal and attack speed and the bonuses increase the more HP Olaf misses. Plus the damage from Olaf's axes-Q and especially E seems too hot for Pantheon's shield to handle (none gets blocked iirc). And if needed, Olaf goes Ragnarok and is unable to get stunned by Pantheon (or any disable for the matter).

So, my vote goes to Olaf, the Berserker.
