Hulk does look out of it.Well, Colossus did pretty well against Classic Juggernaut in some of their fights so isn't that bad of a showing.
Colossus probably rivals his strength at base (If we use the stupid handbook rankings.), while having better hand to hand skills, and seemed to be faster. Used effectively and that can result in a knock out early into a fight with Savage Hulk.
Except the second Colossus got close, Hulk's eyes snapped open and he immediately stomped Colossus. Hulk's played possum before. Just because he can smash, doesn't mean he doesn't use strategy, even against people who don't pose much of a threat. Besides, Hulk didn't revert to Banner. As far as I know, except for Banner-Less Hulk, if Hulk were KO'd, he "Banner-Out".
Anyway, thinking it over again, I'd have to say Iron Man probably does win. Seeing that WWHulk scan reminded me of just how powerful the Hulkbuster armor was. Considering WWHulk turned Colossus into a useless shiny pile of sh*t, for the Hulkbuster to have stood against WWHulk for as long as it did clearly puts it above Colossus as well.
Before, I was thinking about how badly She-Hulk had beat on Iron Man, but that was the standard suit, and I doubt Tony was really trying to do much harm.
As for those scans where Tony has to go all-out to KO Hulk, that seems to be what Marvel figured around that time. Remember those strength charts where Iron Man is at the top saying something like "If I focus all my energy, I can reach this level... for about ten seconds" or something like that?
So I think standard Iron Man probably takes at least a majority against Colossus, and Hulkbuster Iron Man takes it 10/10. Not only is the Hulkbuster armor way more powerful than Colossus, Tony is also leagues higher in intelligence, and has many more years of experience, including with the Avengers. H2H, I think Colossus is likely a better fighter. But overall, Iron Man outclasses him with intelligence, strategy, and all the weapons at his disposal.
Plus the Hulkbuster armor is powerful as all Hell.
