Yeah, I'd have to see scans before I believe it. Hulk gives him enough trouble in a slugfest on his own, I do't see him putting them both down in a pure physical match.
To be fair, that would make for some pretty boring stories. I agree, though. When the big angry green guy isn't going down after hours on end of smacking him in the face with your hammer, it might be time to consider another strategy.
No, the hammer could do it; Thor just likes to brawl for his warrior's honour, testing his strength against Hulk, but then he starts getting concerned about civilians around getting destroyed by property damage, and Hulk uses that against him. If he used everything, well...

If Thor went all out on Hulk, then, well, Hulk would be done for. Think of it like this: Thor, when going all out, is equal to Silver Surfer when he;s going all out, and Silver Surfer, without even going all out, can take the Hulk out with ease.
The Odin force is gone. Strange took it away right while Wolverine chopped his arm.
That's when Thing and Hulk came in and got their ass beat, then Thor said something like "Even your mightest can't beat the odinson" then Captian America cracks him with the shield and goes off on him hardcore, then nearly beheads him.
i don't have it scanned... i just flicked through it, you don't see much (if any) fighting.... Hulk and Thing rush him, knock him off a building (they fall as well)... next seen he say's:
"you ambushed me, fought me for hours and still could not vanquish the mighty Thor"
while he's saying this the Hulk is lying face down impaled on something and Thor is standing on the Thing's chest
I don't even think that comic is cannon, I think that the thor in that comic is the thor of the future, and later on magni persuades the future thor to go back in future and tell present thor not to go on the same path as his future self did because he became a tyrant ruling over Earth & Asgard.
The Mighty Thor # 73: "The Reigning Part 5: The Betrayed"
It happen. But eventually by the end of "the reigning" Thor i mean King Thor with Designate will turn back time and inputing the Knowledge to Thor of the past. King Thor ruled earth for at least close to 200 year vanguising every foe.
