Thor, in the other hand, could do a lot more than he did in the fight. But he only used thunder attacks and hammer strike (not that he can beat
Thanos...).

Dude... that IS a jobbing.
Hulk is Planet Smasher. He should have stood the F*** up and slapped the piss out of that Elite.
All "Hulk" does is jump and smash? No. Hulk is far more than that.
It is more appropriate to say that all Hulk was allowed to do is jump in and smash.
That is not Hulk's full measure. That is the consequence of Hulk being assigned to the worst writer for him since Loeb's gawd-awful stint.
Waid reverted Hulk to "Savage Form", and then gutted his power-level.
Hulk was jobbed before he arrived on scene.
The jobbing in this fight was just icing on the idiot cake.
Just once, I would like to see Thanos face Hulk at his best.
Why not send in Green Scar? Hulk was in such a flux at the time that it would have been an easy write.
Instead we got a crap sandwich of Hulk ownage. Piss poor.
The Hulk that evolved over the past decade (going from Prof. Hulk to War to Post-Onslaught, to Planet Hulk's Green Scar, to WWHulk, and finally hitting his swan song in HotM- THAT is the Hulk we should have seen.
Not this "out of no where- Waid takes over and Hulk is dropped from a 100+ IQ down to a 30 or less IQ" version.
OF course THAT Hulk simply jumps and smashes now.
(Or rather, jumps in and gets slapped aside like a frigg'n light weight. There was no smashing to be had).
Waid took away Hulk's entire personality profile and reverted him to 80's child-like moronic Hulk, only now with an extra dose of dumb-as-rocks.
This version of Hulk makes Forest Gump look like frigg'n Hawking.
And his power level has been nerfed to blue hell.
Modern Hulk "jumps and smashes" without success because Hulk's current writer is more suited for Dare Devil.
Waid SUCKS at writing Hulk.
He has officially squatted all over Peter David and Greg Pak's legacy by reverting Hulk WAAYYYYY back down to idiocy, for no reason other than Waid's own inability to write a decent Mega Class hitter.
Loeb would be proud.
Prior to Waid taking the reigns, Hulk was tactical and bad-ass. He had depth of character. A reason to get back up. A brain to fall back on when his muscles weren't enough.
A reason (family) to push himself hard and get back up.
He had things WORTH being angry about.
After Waid- Hulk is back to "I'll spend this issue fighting Ben Grimm for 15 pages."
He's lost so much raw IQ that he is beyond retarded. 80's Hulk was at least able to hold down a child's conversation.
Waid's Hulk is a sad, sad, shadow of what Hulk truly should be.
Hulk is the strongest person on the team. He's a beast that Thanos himself has sought to avoid conflict with. He is the beast that broke Onslaught. The World Breaker that ripped Arm'Cheddon's arm off. The Jade Giant that squashed a torrent of X-Men at the same time.
Hulk is Stern and Lee's answer to the Superman-Squashing version of Grundy.
Hulk is Marvel's Doomsday (or rather DD is DC's Hulk).
He is Marvel's #1 brick. The strongest being on Earth.
...provided you keep him the hell away from the likes of Waid or Loeb.
Hulk wasn't jobbed? I disagree so much it hurts.
Hulk is the team's biggest fist. Their prime muscle.
And he wasn't even allowed to land a single punch against the Titan.
That is worse than a jobbing. That is a brushing aside.
Thor got owned, but at least he was allowed to go down fighting.
Hulk got the shaft and was hit in the ass by the door as he was leaving.
Infinity #6... man, what a frigg'n joke of a let down.
Anyway- Thanos wins this, hands down.
