ANYTHING to kurrth. i def think kurrth (with both enchantments)>>classic juggs.
war also did something wwh didn't--he stopped juggs and had the weaponry to actually kill him. war>wwh imo.
Wasn't Juggernaut depowered when he received the hammer? I remember him being badly hurt by Thor's lightning and struggling with Luke Cage prior to FI which would have never happened to classic Juggs.
The X-Men have never really had the force to hurt him though outside of telepathy so that's not really different from past encounters.
Kuurth is definitely >classic Juggernaut but he would need to be to take on War. He has the ability to amp his strength at will to levels where he can almost one-shot classic Juggs aswell as stop his momentum, durability to be unaffected by his punches, a celestial sword which overloaded Absorbing Man (correct if i'm wrong but even Mjolnir hasn't done this) and had the threat of cleaving Juggernauts head off. That's a very big claim to say Kuurth could overcome War considering the threat he poses.
Also to your point about Hulk, the War showing was more impressive than in WWH but both stopped his momentum in different ways, not to forget Green Scar was holding back while War was out for the kill.
