I don't think I'd count myself amongst the "Hulk haters", though many here clearly do lack any pretence even, towards objectivity in their desire to smear the character.
still, I honestly can't see Hulk holding out against The Surfer. unless he's become totally impervious to harm at all levels of power, rather than just at his most monstrous.
Surfer should still be able to drain The Hulk, what's happened to The Hulk to change that?
Surfer could encase Hulk in some energy/adamantium containment for a while (though I'm certain Hulk would quickly smash his way out of it), and get a bfr that way.
I don't think he can kill Hulk, just that Hulk's not capable of harming The Surfer. He's physically durable enough to take all but the maddest Hulk's attacks, he's too fast, dynamic and has too great a range to his attacks, to ever be 'tagged' ... so it comes down to who can harm whom more often, and that's in Surfer's favour.
