@IKnowEverything:
Hulk never beat Juggernaut in WWH. When the Juggernaut first showed up, he still had superhuman stats, but to the lowest possible degree the Ruby of Cyttorak would give him. Hulk beats him up a little bit, then the other X-Men intervene and Cain decides to consult with Cyttorak. He asks for his power back, and Cyttorak gives it to him. He then comes in to fight Hulk, beats his face into the ground, and knock him around quite a bit (I dunno how to copy scans from ComicRack or I'd post them), and the two share a scene very similar to Age of Apocalypse War Hulk standing off with Juggernaut. Xavier warns Juggernaut that the foundation of the mansion cannot withstand that kind of force, and then Hulk makes a comment of something like "So you're unstoppable? Then keep moving." At this point he redirects the Juggernaut in a new direction, and Juggs goes flying.
People assume this is why the fight ends but it's not. Hulk confronts Xavier at this point, rather than continuing to fight the Juggernaut. Before Juggernaut can get back into the fight, the Hulk has already fled the scene (being done with Xavier, he doesn't bother to stay and fight), at which point Xavier thanks Juggernaut, and the two part ways. The Juggernaut was not really BFR'd, and the Hulk was the one who left the scene, leaving the encounter unresolved. Another similar instance to this was when Hulk confronted Juggernaut as the horseman War, where he was empowered by a suit made of Celestial Technology given to him by Apocalypse. The Hulk at his strongest is strong enough to stand up to the Juggernaut enough to hope for a stalemate.
Again, the Juggernaut doesn't lose against the Hulk in any instance except the one where he is not the avatar of Cyttorak. That's like saying Green Phoenix loses to Wolverine because Wolverine can backhand Jean Grey and knock her out when she's not under the power of the Phoenix. Yes Hulk beat a slightly enhanced Cain Marko, he did not beat the Juggernaut, Avatar of Cyttorak.
I'm not commenting as to who I think will win between Champion and Juggernaut, but I just hate the WWH instance being used as a way to gauge the Juggernaut's power, because he doesn't lose to the Hulk, he doesn't get BFR's, and the only time he takes a beating is when he is not the Juggernaut. I'll try and stay quietly in the background after this, just wanted to clarify a few facts about that instance.
Thanks for reading,
