You bringing up the other Bannerless Hulk time, when they were seperated and Hulk fought all Avengers ( except Thor was not there - how interesting)at the same time? How much sense did that make - Iron Man and Namor have been able to stop a Savage Hulk in the past, but when they are fighting alongside several others they can't?
I know my Hulk history, junior. I was watching the Hulk TV show on friday nights as a kid, so my knowledge goes back.

Some of you make it seem like Hulk attains Kurse-level strength/durability within 10 seconds.
Namor/Doc Samson/Abomination have all INDIVIDUALLY KO'd Savage Hulk physically, generating sufficient force to overcome his increasing strength and durability threshold. There's no way of measuring what these thresholds are as they vary with Hulk's anger level.
To say that Thor/BRB can't KO Hulk H2H is to say that Thor/BRB can't deliver equal or greater concussive force than the attack/attacks that Namor/Doc/Abomination used to dispatch Hulk.
To say that Thor couldn't KO in the encounters they've had is only to say that either Thor wasn't using enough force to KO Hulk, or that Hulk had reached a durability level where he was incapable of being incapacitated by the force of Thor's assault.
BRB is much more aggressive than Thor. Hulk is KO'd.
Doc Samson only knocked Hulk out when Hulk thought he was an illusion and didn't even want to fight him. He was as calm as possible. Namor has only managed to knock Hulk out underwater. Much more recently, after Hulk adapted underwater, Namor couldn't repeat the same feat. And Abomination hasn't had a victory since his first fight with Hulk. Hulk's practically beaten the guy to death on more than occasion.
If BRB acts more aggressive to Hulk in this fight, Hulk will just respond by getting angrier, stronger, blah, blah, blah.
It’s not a one-shot when Namor needed to heal in the water. A one-shot implies one character easily knocked out the other. Not to mention Thor has never one-shotted Hulk before. Really doesn’t speak well of him, now does it?
And in about a dozen other fights, he couldn’t, even when he tried. Consistency, my friend.
For this fight? No one, which is why it’s not most likely that he’ll simply be knocked out.
He wasn’t even that mad AND it was underwater. Hulk seemed pretty weak whenever he couldn’t breathe back int he old days.
In pure H2H, no he doesn’t. It’s just that he can’t put Hulk down when fighting like that. You seriously need to realize this.
They’ve fought more times than that and in some, Thor gets his ass handed to him. In two of those stalemates, Thor was out for blood and Hulk didn’t want to fight him.
Popularity has very little to do with it.
They are far from significantly greater, if at all. Not that it matters, since Hulk also becomes more durable as he becomes stronger.
He wasn't that mad, apparently Thor wasn't mad when he stalemated Hulk in their previous battles.
Yes he does. Thor due to his speed, skill, and massive strength, should be able to quickly dispose of Hulk.
Has Hulk ever killed Thor? I wonder why?
Has Thor ever killed Hulk? I wonder why?
It doesn't?
We've seen how writers write the Hulk when it's no consequence to his popularity. Most times he ends up dead, because the writers have the ability to bring his character back.
And even at his angriest, his durability feats don't compare to Thor's. Only shows the advantage that two Thor's have.
What, that Hulk won’t be knocked easily in the beginning? You’ve said the exact opposite of that.
I said he wasn’t that mad. You throw out “enraged” like he was in “Hulk smash!” mode or something.
Oi vey…
We’ve gone over this. Thor has no strength advantage. At all.
He’s not even that much faster, if at all. He’s not dodging Hulk’s attacks the majority of the time, if at all.
And his skill level is that of a brawler.
NONE of that gives him the victory over Hulk and NONE of that indicates jobbing.
Good lord, they’ve been stalemating since day one, even when neither one was that popular.
Who knows? Thor's hammer does appear in Future Imperfect, which strongly implies Thor's not alive any more in that timeline.
No, it doesn't. They've been stalemating each other since day one. Fans love fights between these two too much for a decisive winner, which is why Hulk just suddenyl stopped getting stronger when he stalemated Thor for an hour.
So every time Hulk doesn’t lose or die, it’s because he’s too popular? That’s some of the worst logic I’ve heard yet.
Yes, they do. Especially if you go by average, Thor’s durability isn’t that hot.
He knocked him down and nearly knocked him out with just 10 to 20 super fast punches. Thor was helpless against him and even compared him to an Asgardian Troll.
