I'm talking about the type of hits that rattle his brain, causing him to lose consciousness.
Thanos killed surfer without ripping chunks out of him. Could you even explain why Surfer died? there were no visible injuries is I remember correctly. (it's been a while)
Putting aside the PIS nature of Thanos' feat (Surfer is pure energy - he doesn't have to have a body), I'd say that Hulk doesn't require a heart or lungs to fight and operate normally, so why would he require a physical brain?
It doesn't seem at all possible that brain damage would affect Hulk, should it even be possible for Thanos to inflict any such a think by overcoming 1) his insane durability and 2) his "functionally immortal" making healing factor.
We've seen Hulk riddled with high-power adamantium bullets, barrage upon barrage and no lasting damage.
Getting back to Surfer, he really was jobbed out to Thanos (as he always is). Someone who can reform - instantly - from being atomised and can take smacks and smashes from Galactus on a fairly regular basis, has no business being that affected by Thanos' attacks.
Yes Thanos should be more powerful than Surfer, but nowhere close to that much more... Pure PIS, imo.
