Even if some people, not me, give Ulik the edge in physical stats. AM is FAR faster and the fight is by the beach. He drags Ulik under and then beats him into a coma.

Thor has stated, AT LEAST twice, that Ulik is Thor's equal in raw strength. One of those times, Thor specifically states that "even without his metal pounders", Ulik is Thor's equal.
Thor has stated, AT LEAST twice, Ulik is powerful enough to shatter a planet.
The madder Ulik gets, the stronger he gets. (Stated on panel)
During one battle, Ulik had won and was preparing his "All-Powerful Body Crusher Blow" (im serious), to kill Thor, but Odin shows up and banishes Ulik.
Thor has hit Ulik, with Mjolnir, with all his might, and had no effect. Ulik just hit him back. He was not knocked off his feet or even staggered.
ALL of his battles with Thor, have just been page after page of trading blows. Yet, he never tires, gives up, staggers or loses bloodlust.
Thor once stated, flat out, that he was going to try to kill Ulik. All out. He couldnt do it.
Ulik once had Thor on the ropes by using a "stalactite" as his weapon.
Ulik is so powerful, he once tried to punch and break Thor's leg. And he missed.
But the shear force of Uliks punch caused Thor's leg to go dead.
Ulik had few characters to worry about when he came on the scene. And, as with Mangog and a few other Thor villains, though they started out as valid, legit threats to Thor and even Odin, they got watered-down, for marketing purposes, lending cred to other books and characters.
But, in the Thor books, as a lot of u know, the writers were very descriptive and left little room for interpretation.
Even though some board members keep pulling that "Emergency Hyperbole Alarm". U know the one. Right above it, there's that sign that says, "In case of statements, panels, descriptions or narrations that inform the reader of the Frighteningly High Power Levels of Thor, Odin and many if thier Adversaries, pull alarm handle!"

In the beginning, Ulik was a pretty cool character. He had this whole "Down With Snobby Asgardians" thing going on with Asgard and Thor. He had some good reasons to hate them, even hate his own people and just WANTED TO WIN. Like the "Rocky Balboa" of the 9 worlds.
Every other panel would show Thor's thoughts and they usually went something like:
"this guy should b dead, but he keeps getting up and coming back, because he seems to b tougher, meaner and stupider than any being I hath ever battled. Wtf.".
Or, "why is this dude so pissed off all the time? At me? Wtf".
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
Am was able to get the edge of herc when water came into play. this fight would be a lot like that one. the pounders would make a significant difference if they weren't near water. on land with them, i'd give ulik a majority. near a beach, with AM's speed? AM wins a heavy majority imo.
From what I recall Hercules was injured and deranged and it was made quite clear that Aquaman had a significant disadvantage in stats no? If Aquaman can somehow drag Ulik to water and keep him there, maybe he could outswim him for an advantage but he isn't Namor. Dipping his toe into water doesn't increase his stats to new proportions and if he gets hit by Ulik, he's going to get rocked. Hard. If Arthur had his trident, I can see him doing enough damage to win, barehanded? Ulik isn't that big of a loser....yet.
