Easy Strength plus the fact that version doesn't stop beating the crap out of something until its cripple or dead. Also his durability. I do remember man thing touching the professor's head And all that happened was his hair was burned off, And that was just the weakest form of the hulk. Just think what savage could do!

I actually agree with you that there is no realistic win condition for Man-Thing... But he can't actually be defeated with strength alone.
He can reform instantly from the entirety of his body being destroyed and is a self contained eco-system that can be without water for days (including in arctic conditions). He is literally immune to physical attacks, so much so, that when the Lizard was shown hitting him, the editor of the comic added a box to the actual comic that essentially said "this shouldn't have happened".EDIT:... because Man-Thing is made of muck... errrr, that last point kind of ran on.
short version: hulk can't hurt manny
ya, pretty much from that point on there have been lots of inconsistent changes to the character, as if Marvel really wanted him around for some reason, but had no real plan for the character.
"Classic" Man-Thing (volumes 1-4 + pretty much all appearances before the Ares incident) would be what I described above.
Current Man-Thing is possessed by some ancient entity that is sort of like Blink but with reality warping powers and can open portals between dimensions. Current "Vorgornus Koth" Man-Thing would actually probably win with access to his full powers, at least with BFR on.
The Man-Thing they invented for "Fear Itself" was an even more potent reality warper... /shrug.

[b]OozeTo begin, I want to show an editor's note here. Spider-Man had just done a two-foot kick into Man-Thing, and the editor (and rightly so, might I add) clearly points out that Spidey should have gone right into Man-Thing, rather than hitting him [Giant Sized Spider-Man 5]:

my bad, it was Spider-Man, not the Lizard
