Sorry, let me clarify. I was objecting to the "easily" part.
The OS's and OE's effectiveness seem subject to extreme durability. While Hulk's tearing durability is certainly not on par with Superman's, he has shown to be on par in the category of energy and temperature resistance. And blunt force is about the least effective way of fighting Hulk. Barring KO for the win, he heals too fast for any character to possibly beat him to death. So if Darkseid was forced into fisticuffs with Hulk, it would a very brutal, nasty, blood fest. Who wins? Dunno. But neither wins "easily".

So you are saying that Magneto is of insufficient capabilities to do so, especially mid to late battle?Well I was thinking Iceman could take care of him right at the start, I do agree with you on the "amp time" though.
I'm comparing Magneto's draining ability to Silver Surfer's. When Hulk and Banner were split, and Surfer didn't know, Surfer began to drain the gamma energy out of Hulk, which would've killed Hulk. Hulk tanked his way through it and clocked Surfer before hauling ass. If Surfer couldn't drain Hulk's gamma, even while thinking it would've been harmless and therefore had no reason to delay it, how could Magneto accomplish such a feat?
If I were to pick Magneto to win, I'd base it on his other abilities. Too many other people have tried to drain Hulk's gamma and failed, and Magneto's not even proficient in that respect. However, Magneto has soloed the X-Men before if I'm not mistaken, so I wouldn't dare say Hulk pwns him. Just takes the majority. I imagine the fight involving Magneto tossing Hulk around a lot, and using the environment for all it's worth, but ultimately how could he really damage Hulk that would put Hulk down? Eventually, Hulk thunderclaps or Hulk-jumps up to Magneto to deal with him.
As for Iceman. Since Iceman's powers are theoretically on a global scale, he could likely make a Mount Rushmore sized ice rock and squish Hulk. Beyond that, I can't see how being frozen or hit by blunt force could stop Hulk for long. Hulk's been deep frozen before and busted right out. It's kind of like Human Torch. In WWHulk, Hulk takes the combined might of Human Torch's best shot and Storm's best shot, and he(somehow) KO'd them both. Since WWHulk's durability didn't seem too amped from the norm, I figure Savage Hulk is around that range as well. When against Hulk, Iceman, in my opinion, is best as a team weapon. Eg, freezing Hulk's eyes to stop him while Colossus goes for an uppercut or Gambit throws a charged football at him. You know, like play-making.
EDIT: I already know, Surfer WOULD have drained the gamma EVENTUALLY. My point was he couldn't do it in time, thus illustrating the true difficulty in such a task.
