not disputedbut Hulks speed is always under estimated in fact I think I am the only guy who ever argues it. He can go from 0- nearly seven miles a sec in an instant. You don;t believe me look up what the escape velocity of the earth is

The problem you are making is mistaking human movement dynamics with simple linear speed. For instance, believe it or not you jump very fast ....but you cannot run at that speed.
In the same way that some people can throw a 90mph fastball, faster than a typical scooter, but that doesn't mean that they can run at 90 mph.
The dynamic process of the human jumping model and joint speeds can be quite high, but that does not mean that just because your skeletal muscles in the leg can manage to exert themselves greatly over a very brief period of time and propel you quite fast upwards that those same muscles will enable you to outrace a person in a car (or for that matter, on a skateboard).
It is bad science to assume that. It would be like saying that because you can snap your fingers very fast that that is your level of speed.
Moving on to comics .....even if we throw out all science and stick to the world of capes, eyes that shoot fire, and folk with green skin, it is still illogical to even compare the speed of the Hulk to that of any TRUE speedster.
People like Supergirl can move fast enough that they are invisible ....the level of speed mandated by such a feat (whereby a human sized being is moving so fast that they cannot be seen ....not even a blur) is astounding, to say the least.
Anyways, whether you try to apply real world physics, or simply stick to comic book lore, the fact still remains that the Hulk might as well be LITERALLY standing still if any TRUE speedster decides to blitz (per KMC rules). This is not to say that the Hulk is slow ....compared to humans (real or comic book) the Hulk is VERY fast .....you wouldn't be able to outrun him in a Lamborghini Murcielago for instance, or for that matter ANY real world car this side of the Batmobile. Thus the Green Dude is fast.
But he is no speedster, and against real speedsters he might as well be standing still.
