Old school, savage Hulk made classic Juggy look like a weak feeb in their battle. Taking that into account, WBH could certainly do the same -- and in a much easier fashion, me thinks. However, the only thing that would prevent Hulk from tooling Juggy again is that pesky force-field. IF that is up, then Hulk's attacks would be ineffectual (as would Juggy's.) So yeah, without a force-field Hulk dominates. With a force-field they stalemate.
-Hulk- "Hulk is really tired of you now, Juggernaut" - said as he was spinning Juggy. ...And I didn't mean weak in the literal sense, I meant in comparison he looked pathetic.
So, you think Hulk throwing a 900lb man is some kind of dynamic/overpowering strength feat? Cause I'm pretty sure Cain was unharmed and still able to fight.
I see there's some conflict as to the interpretation of that bout, so I'll share my views on what I thought when I read that comic (which was a long time before I made this topic).
Juggernaut nearly had the Hulk beat, and I think he could have even killed him if he had broken his neck. Unfortunately, Hulk came to his wits, really pissed, and had a sudden strength advantage over Juggernaut. He tossed him in the mountain, thought the fight was over, left etc. But I think the writers made it clear that the fight wasn't over. That hardly harmed Juggernaut, and he was coming for more. I think he even taunted him.
As to what spinning the opponent and tossing him means, I don't know about the Silver Age, but if a character does that to someone in a contemporary comic, it'd be pretty embarrassing. While it's not that great a strength feat, a brute like the Juggernaut
should be able to prevent someone doing that to him. One could argue (or in this case, has) that he caught Juggy by surprise. Could it be true? IMO, Yes. Could it not be true? Equally likely. I doubt we can know this for sure.
So long story short, nobody won that fight, although Juggernaut did come very close to victory whereas the same can't be said about the Hulk. He was never actually winning. He connected a major combo, but it's useless if it doesn't hurt the Juggernaut. It's a stalemate at best, and even that's only because Xavier stopped that fight.
That's what I made out of that fight.

Read your post. Read what you just asked me to do. Read the analogy you just tried to make.
LOL
There was a scan of an article by one of Marvel's guys basically saying Jugz can increase his strength by drawing on more power from his Patron when he needs too. I think it was in the Respect Juggernaut thread.
There are two:

Juggernaut has never amped himself to the point where a footstep threatens to break a continent apart. So no.
But being able to draw "limitless power" from Cyttorak himself should allow him to at least match The Hulk.
Lastly, I'd like to say that I was pissed at Marvel opting for a "Hulk vs Wolverine" short instead of a "Hulk vs Juggernaut" one. That would have been an excellent fight to watch. They only used Wolverine to sell more copies (which is kinda like a company's primary aim 🙁 )
