What you have here is a match between the Hulk (with a stipulation that he starts very angry, and that his anger continues to increase during the duration of the match), against the Juggernaut.
The 'Hulk' here is Superman ....and the increasing 'anger' is basically the solar juice emanating from Surfer. The longer the fight goes on, the more juiced he gets.
Juggernaut is Gladiator .....the psycho-effect from xavier basically means that Gladiator does not ebb ....he doesn't lose confidence and become a playtoy, and thus is similar to how the Juggernaut is. Protected by Cytorrak etc etc etc.
Thus, the question is (to put it another way) ....would a Hulk that is getting exponentially angry (and anger, just like how sunlight affects Superman, works in an exponential manner .....it is like decibels ....140 decibels is not double 70 decibels ...it is far higher) manage to defeat the Juggernaut.
As in:
a) Will Hulk's anger get to a point whereby (as it exponentially increases) he becomes more powerful physically than the level of protection that Cytorrak gives Juggernaut,
or
b) Will the Juggernaut be able to knock out the Hulk before he simply gets too strong to manage?
Those are the questions, and they are the same questions for Superman (with an ever increasing sun-dip) versus Gladiator (who is at maximum strength).
But note: In both the Hulk and Superman case, they are getting exponentially stronger by the second. Every second that passes you face someone who is measurably stronger than he was a second ago. Any injury you might have metted on them is gone (healing, anger and solar based), and disadvantage they may have been at is lesser, and any advantage you may have considered your own is getting eroded. And this is happening on an exponential basis.
Also note: Juggernaut and Gladiator are NOT getting stronger. What is happening is that they are NOT getting WEAKER. They are at maximum strength.
But even if one was to assume that Gladiator and Juggernaut are stronger than Superman and Hulk respectively, what should be realized is that both Kal and Banner are getting stronger at a very fast rate, and before long you end up in a pre-crisis/WWH situation whereby it starts to resemble more of a DragonBall Z cartoon on steroids rather than 'normal' comics (whatever normal is).
You basically move into a deux ex machina situation that is not abating, and suddenly the advantages that mgiht have been held by Juggernaut and Kallark start looking dim.
Unless they win immediately at the outset of the battle (basically the proverbial one-second knockout), what will happen is that with each passing second they face a more powerful, more durable, more refreshed foe who is basically been constantly boosted.
