I'll tell you how:
(in Hunter/Prey) All energy blasts that DD encounted was new to him and he tanked them easily. GL blasts, Darkseid's OB, etc. At half power, the OB was shown to vaporize two giant missiles that Superman himself, using all of his might, couldn't put a scratch on.
Thus the OB at half power, in that arc, was shown to be astronomically more powerful than Superman.
I don't know of any feats of Dr. Manhattan that shows he is capable of vaporizing something that Superman, using all of his might, can't put a scratch on.
If he has some, then again, it just might damage him. But the problem is DD will heal up and evolve on the fly for greater resistance.
Also, you are underestimating DD's durability. DD has instant heal factor and on the fly adapting features. If DM doesn't take him out right away
(he won't) then he never will (he get's more resistant and powerful as the fight goes on).

DD already adapted to and defeated two energy-based beings.
The first was the Radiant, who did manage to kill Doomsday prior to DoS. Second time around in H/P, DD one-shot killed the Radiant.
Second was Waverider. Doomsday adapted on the fly to Waveriders chronal energies and dispersed him.
Galan's right, Dr. M's best chance is BFR. If Doomsday manages to make contact with him, he's probably toast. Dr. M didn't ever display actual combat feats demonstrating the ability to defeat DD, so BFR is his only real shot.
Black hole won't do shit. First, Herald level guys have many feats of basically disregarding black holes. Second, Mother Box determined that she required Waverider's bracelets to send DD to the end of time because that was the only way to defeat him. If a black hole would have worked, she would have just opened a boom tube.
But for forum purposes BFR anywhere, including the vicinity of a black hole, would constitute a forum win.

"Everyone else" has actual feats of them forcibly teleporting powerful characters away against their will, some of those characters being able to resist energy manipulation. Manhattan teleported himself and a human with no energy resistance feats at all. Cool, but that's a far cry from doing that to Doomsday, who is likely to just thrash Manhattan for even trying.
