It's not PIS. Hulk has since done far more impressive feats than that. Things on the planet/galaxy scale. The only reason he's not out juggling planets is because he can't fly. However, he one-shotted an asteroid twice the size of the Earth. That easily dwarfs a simple mountain. Now, I don't know who the Hell you've been talking to, but I've never heard anyone say that lifting that little ol' mountain was PIS for The Incredible HULK. I have, however, heard absolutely sh*t arguments before from people who have no idea what they are talking about. I once lurked on a debate of Grundy vs Hulk; and on one of the posts someone actually said, verbatim, "Well Hulk only lifts tanks and Grundy fights Superman so Grundy wins." Hard to believe, but that's what someone actually posted. But we all know that often enough, people just hate certain characters so much that they strongly wish they didn't/couldn't do certain things or beat certain people that ups the game of those characters. So, look, there comes a point where it can't be called "PIS" anymore. When Hulk first came out, sure, he wasn't lifting mountains. But the fact is, he was just never challenged to. He was, however, consistently going toe-to-toe with top-tiers with proven top-tier strength feats like Namor, Hercules, Juggernaut, and the man himself, Thor. And when Hulk stalemated Thor for over an hour in a pure test-of-strength, that immediately solidified Hulk's place in the top-tier league. I mean, after all, would it be PIS if Thor was the one that held up the mountain? Not to mention, Stan Lee created Hulk with the intention that he'd be the "strongest one there is". So as the character developed, they obviously decided to get bolder and more creative with ways to develop their definition of "top-tiers" and character development. So while it may have been an outrageous sight back then, by today's standards it a relatively low feat for Hulk. Which makes any "PIS" tag it ever had totally void and completely irrelevant.

It's already been proven Doomsday is fast. It hasn't been proven that he's too fast for Hulk. Hulk has incredibly underestimated reflexes. He's been able to even catch the Silver Surfer while on his board, he's leveled countless speedsters, he's dodged attacks from fast top-tiers like Thor and Namor. He's dodged artillery shells and missiles(not that either would hurt him), he's even caught some before. Or punched it or something. Old issues, fuzzy memories. In any case, you have to prove that Doomsday is too fast for Hulk to defend against. Or prove that Hulk isn't fast enough to hit Doomsday. Just because we've seen a hundred different characters sh*tting their pants and saying "Oh, Doomsday is faster than all-f*ck!" doesn't necessarily make it so. It's fine that all the characters gave props to Doomsday. However, they were all inconsistent. And it's not like Doomsday said "This is my top speed" and a cop happened to be near by with a speed-meter to tell us all in plain f*cking English how fast he moves. But we know you don't have to be as fast as Flash, or even Superman, to hit Superman. And given that Superman has hit Doomsday, obviously, we can assume it's possible you don't have to be as fast as Superman to hit Doomsday. With Hulk's lightning reflexes and mach speed punching, I say it's utterly ridiculous to think Doomsday is gonna walk in wearing trunks and gloves and give Hulk the ol' one-two and score a first round KO.
