Hmm...
You know, I might catch a lot of heat for this, but I'll play devil's advocate, and I'll take Nimrod.
My reasoning for saying this is that Nimrod (the classic Nimrod before being reworked into Bastion) not only had a database of all mutant powers that he had either encountered or were documented, but he also had technology that could examine the genetic structure of his targets to either counter or nullify their x-genes, rendering mutants powerless against him.
Doomsday's powers are genetic.
Nimrod could analyze Doomsday and nullify the biochemical process that facilitate his adaptations, which are a physical change in his body, and once that happens, it's down hill for Doomsday, because like him, Nimrod adapts on the fly, but Nimrod also has a vast energy projection arsenal, as well as being outfitted with time travel hardware. Not to mention Nimrod has far superior intelligence, and unlike a hero, he doesn't have any emotional or moral hang ups to hinder his judgment.
I'd give Nimrod the slight majority out of 10.
it raises an interesting issue. it matches strength v strength. nimrod's ability to alter and negate genetically based powers, v dd's genetic ability to adapt to any style of attack.
to me, it falls then to the beginnings of each -- dd was fashioned by the people of krypton, i world more highly advanced than earth. given that, i'd have to say krypton's greatest creation/threat, would be able to overcome an earth made sentinel.
besides, we've seen practically no limit yet to the adaptability of dd, and he has survived attacks that would likely have reduced nimrod to scrap.
dd's ability to adapt appears to me > nimrod's ability to negate those adaptations
damn it feels good to be talking about something OTHER than phoenix . . . 😄

Unlikely Nimrod could do this, he gets smashed pretty often by guys a lot weaker than Doomsday.
That's because he's a villain.
An X-Men villain at that.
Do you really think Marvel's going to let their cash cows get massacred by a robot?
I think he's capable.
He has the tools to pull it off. Not many of Doomsday's opponents had the capabilty or wherewithal to analyze and nullify his genetic adaptations. They just tried to blast and slug it out with him and got pwn3d. Nimrod's a futuristic killing machine that always goes for the optimum efficiency scenario in combat. I'm not saying Nimrod's going to massacre Doomsday, by no means, I'm just saying that he does have the tools, and lacks the shortcomings, that would allow him to take Doomsday. B-Leaguer notoriety status not withstanding.

A planet with Doom, Reed, T'Challa, High Evolutionary, Forge, Mr. Sinister, Pym, A.I.M., etc, and random Shi'Ar, Kree, and Cellestial tech scattered about being assimilated and improved/adapted to in the late 20th century and early 21st century is far from a technologically remedial planet, leo. Reed, alone, has invented tech that countered technologically advanced races.
The Kryptonian engineering angle is kind of a moot point.
And also, don't forget, Nimrod was from a future timeline, he wasn't a 20th century 616 MU invention.
