Sure the Thing can give him a bloody lip, but can he knock him out? Hell no. Same thing goes for Dr. Strange / Zom, he was blowing a hole through Hulk's midsection but Hulk healed it back in a couple pages. Sentry was blowing a hole through Hulk's shoulder with his energy projections (which everybody underplays during their fight) and Hulk healed it within a panel or two at most.
There was no single entity on Marvel Earth that was able to knock out WWH during the WWH saga, with the exception of after Hulk had mutated back to his old Grey Hulk phase.
So just because Hulk gets a bloody nose, doesn't mean squat. The Marvel writers do that to make it look like the characters had a chance. If Superman gets hurt internally, it will take him much longer to heal those injuries than the Hulk. Unless Superman can outright kill or knockout the Hulk the only thing he's going to do is make him madder and more strong. If Superman doesn't get the KO over with quickly the fight will swing inevitably into the favor of the Hulk's.
Due to Superman's long ranged attacks, speed, and BFR capabilities, is the only reason Superman would win a majority in this fight.
Put them both up close with limited room to operate and Superman would get devastated.
Ok, so I guess you aren't counting him being on his back, with a broken neck, unable to move, as a "Knock-Out"?
Interesting.
His fight with Zom/Strange never completed.
He ran away from the Juggernaut.
He ran away from Grey after playing a gay mind game with him that was simply ridiculous.
He was on his knees, unable to get up, against Sentry, until his buddies intervened.
Not impressed
