Hulk was facing more than just the Juggernaut's strength; he was also having to deal with the "unstoppability".
In Hulk #270, despite his increase in power over the years, despite his fury over the genocide perpetrated by Abomination, the Hulk was rendered nearly unconscious by a few hits.
In JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #112, Hulk and Thor were evenly matched. (That fight occured before ASTONISH #90.) If there was a big difference in Hulk's power level over the years, you would expect him to overpower Thor with ease. But no. Thor's strength continues to rival Hulk's in their battles.
Classic Juggernaut compared his strength to Thor's. Juggernaut and Thor have never come close to kayoing Hulk with a few hits, much less leaving him dying on the ground. Even when he disguised himself so Merged Hulk would hold back, it took Juggernaut some time to defeat Hulk.
At his normal level, Abomination once punched it out with the Hulk until both were on the brink of unconsciousness. He was able to go toe-to-toe with Hulk who was angry over Betty being "hurt"... and it could be argued that Abomination had the advantage prior to taunting Hulk about her death. Thor and Juggernaut are not twice as strong as someone who is able to match a very enraged Hulk.
And, sorry, "all the fights were PIS" is not a valid argument.

Original strength Emil was crying for help against Hulk. Juggernaut managed to knock WWHulk around in their battle. WWHulk himself and others have stated that he's stronger than ever and whatever happened in the past is dead, and that includes their battle in issue #270.

What could hurt Abomination here is that he had built up in his mind that he was invincible at his original level of power. Juggernaut ranges from more durable than his peers to invulnerable. Abomination's confidence may waver at the sight of Juggernaut withstanding his assault.
Or maybe not, since it's happened once before.
The only way I see either truly winning this is if BFR is not allowed. Then Juggernaut's durability and force field would enable him to endure Abomination's attacks until Abomination dropped from exhaustion.
This fight ends with one or the other removed from the field. Abomination can quickly return by leaping. Juggernaut doesn't do that so most likely either he "loses" by BFR or "wins" when Abomination leaves.
Juggs gets slapped around like a two-dollar whore,only thing keeping this competitive is his invulnerability.Hulk and OS Abom act on a whole different plane of strength than Juggy.
Hulk stopped Juggs(when motivated and out to beat Hulk) dead in his tracks,nuff sAID.
