I don't make anything up, I just judge by the meaning behind the entire story.Sentry flew into the conflict and he needed a whole while to reach them, since there there happened so much in the mean time. Reed was going to kill Tony, who was trying to hack the controlling devices, Reed didn't kill him, because Hulk didn't let him to, Rick explained it to them, Hulk then talked a little bit about the story and then there was the golden shine and the Sentry entered the battle.
The Sentry, who already flew from the Earth to the Sun during one single conversation, multiple times and even faster.
I'm pretty sure that the distance between the Earth and the Sun is greater than the distance between one point of America and another one.Once again, this is not me making anything up. Paul Jenkins, the creator of the Sentry said that Sentry struggels and if he struggels, his power level sinks and he is easier to defeat. Greg Pak, the writer of World War Hulk made it pretty clear that Sentry was in a weak mental condition, since he was ignoring his duties as a hero for days, because of his agoraphobia.
With the mental issues Sentry's power level was low and he was not able to bust out more damage.
Didn't we already made it clear, that Sentry wanted to be hit during that fight? He was not dodging when Hulk was attacking him, for obvious reasons: "HEY, IMA LOSE THE CONTROL AND START LEVELING THE ENTIRE CITY, TROLLO-LOLO!"
No one ever said that Hulk can't defeat opponents. Hulk is a brute and for the longest time he had brutes as his opponents. He was facing opponents on his own level of speed. He can do that as much as he wants, but when he faces opponents who are maybe equal to him when it comes to the strenght, but have a greater versatility, then the writers have to write the stories so that the Hulk could win too.
Just because you're strong, you can't simply defeat someone with a plot device like Mjolnir. Or someone with the power of one million exploding suns.
Stopped reading there.

^ Sentry and Photon are shredding worlds, while they're still holding back. Captain America is threatened, while the entire ground beneath him is collapsing.

^ Captain America gets teleported into safety and Sentry and Photon cut loose. Sentry is for the first time not on the Earth and therefore not threatening anyone. He releases his power and his golden energy is visible in the real world, while he is still in the microverse.
And during that encounter there was not a sign of Sentry's mental issues. He was fairly clear minded. Hulk can't take on a being who destroys planets while holding back and who also takes attacks on a planetary busting scale without taking all too much harm.
Everything that you just wrote was just more excuses. It was your take on things, when it was never canonically stated on panel that these things occurred. To further shoot down everything that you stated, Bob was written at that point to be in full control of his mental and physical faculties. Anything outside of what was written is your opinion. I'll go with what was written in the book, and not a fan induced assumption. You have no concrete evidence to prove one word of your post. They made it clear that the Sentry was well prepared for the conflict, which in no way gives you the leeway to make any other assumptions outside what was written.
The Hulk held back as I pointed out, and he still won. HOTM was the Hulk on a completely higher level, and if Bob could not beat a weaker level of the Hulk, I would certainly not give him the win against a more potent level. If I did it would be like giving a kid 6-7 plates of food when they could not finish the 1 that I initially gave them.
