Hulk. Kurse was a badass, but his greatest feat was beating up Thor, which isn't even a good ABC argument considering Thor's yet to show any manliness against Hulk himself.
Frankly, until I see Hulk got KTFO by someone (which I'm hoping does happen at some point), I'm not inclined to say that any of the Avengers could put him down. We've seen Thor's limits twice now. Hulk thus far has been annoyed/injured by stuff but otherwise has given zero ****s.
edit- Wait, didn't Blonskey nearly beat him to death in TIH? I can't remember.
On a side note...the fight with kurse is a testament to Thor's durability if nothing else. He took a beating and was up and about at least 5 minutes later. He showed no signs of true damage besides those cuts on his face. Beast.he was fighting aether powered malekith id say about a couples hrs after like a champ. Buuuut annyyyways I'd say kurse over hulk.

Huh? So Hulk is enraged to the point where he can't tell friend from foe which means he's very very strong already and Thor tries to take him on h2h, talking to him and not going all out, only using Mjolnir once to hit Hulk in their entire fight and never using his more exotic powers.
Hulk was unable to hit Thor unless it was via cheapshot or during times when Thor was off his feet.
How exactly did Thor not prove himself against Hulk?
Hulk wins this. "The Kursed" was only enchanted against Asgardian weapons and magic, it couldn't even survive a pointy stick through the chest. Quite pathetic, durability wise.
Hulk's easily the tougher and, given that he grows far more powerful with stress and anger, he's going to quickly dominate "Kurse".
Also, Hulk was one-punching the big mecha-fish and easily survived the combined assault of something like 15-20 Chitauri ships, again showing outstanding durability above and beyond Thor et al.
The Hulk that fought Abomination in TIH was weakened to the point that Banner didn't even know if he could transform into Hulk ever again. And, more importantly, it was Hulk's blood that empowered Abomination so it's basically a fraction of Hulk's power, that Hulk was fighting against.

Actually the Dark Elf Sword didn't seem to cause serious damage to him, it was the space twisting device that finished him.

Also, other than swatting Thor aside, "Kurse" wasn't doing that much, he was like an angry teenager kicking the shit out of the toddlers in the playground...
