Unfortunately, Hulk is one of those characters who's power level is variant depending on his customer popularity...peaking during the World War Hulk series.
I mean, seriously, him holding a whole PLANET together when it was splitting apart? A tad bit redonkulous IMO. Marvel "leveled" him up to the point where there are no real possible challenges for him as a character...I prefered the older universe where heroes actually had challenges and had to overcome adversity, otherwise what point is there in being a "hero" if everything comes so easily? Things like bravery, honor, and the "persevere through adversity" thing that used to define WHAT a hero was kind of loses all value when any hero can solve a problem with as much effort as it takes a normal person to blink their eyes.
Its the same thing that ruined the DBZ universe...instead of coming up with "real" challenges, they just made the villains more powerful...and as a result leveled up their heros to overcome them...eventually resulting in a Super Sayan level 378 with mile-long golden hair who took 17 episodes to "power up" their ultimate attack.
The only realistic comparison would be a Megs versus Lou Ferrigno era Hulk...not a complete blowout but Hulk would actually have to dive, duck, dip, dodge and dive to avoid being pulverized so he could have a chance at winning.
