Did you guys not understand Thor's point? That was the ONE time Thor didn't hold back against Hulk. He didn't "hit him into space because he couldn't win". So many people don't understand Thor's character. He's different on earth. There are three versions of Thor fighting. Thor fighting in character (holding back), Thor, not holding back ( his fight against sentry, surfer, when galactus attacked, the maestro fight), then there is Thor fighting like a "god", where he literally uses ALL of his strength, and ALL of his power to the point where he full exerts himself, like against Jorgunmand, and against Glory, Blood and thunder, before getting the power gem. That third version, is how Thor fought this Hulk for the first time, cause he was pissed. Let me break it down for you. The fight started, Thor was fighting in character, losing to Thing and Hulk. Went to tackle Nul Hulk, but Nul reacted and beat his ass down with the hammer. Thor summoned his hammer, and (I think attacked the thing), but as Thor was getting up, Nul Hulk beat his ass again. Had Thor stayed in character, he would have gotten KO'd, as he "should have". Thor was going to keep fighting per usual, "mjolnir to me", he sees the Thing running at him, and is trying to keep his cool..."benjamin...don't", and because he was getting dominated by Hulk, like he usually does, this really pissed him off, because he summoned Mjolnir to continue fighting Hulk, but the Thing ran at him, and into the path of Mjolnir, going right through him, and dropping him. Thor was more than likely feeling angry, because as a result of yet another fight of his against Hulk, the Thing had to get hurt. "Him I liked, but you, you were always a giant pain in the ass"
that was a subtle hint there. Thor going all out, even on Earth, is NOT him fully exerting himself where he is using beyond all his strength and all his power. Fighting like that, he can beat almost anyone. But he has lost to Hulk fighting that way MULTIPLE times, that's why Thor says "you were always a pain in the ass"...this part will make more sense after I explain it. Thor knows he would probably lose if he fought like he always does, all "out", so he goes at him hard now. At the beginning of the fight, Thor charges Hulk, who has his back to him, Hulk still manages to turn around and nail him with the hammer. Now, after Thor get's pissed her, and tells hulk he was always a pain in the ass, he charges him again, except, he's too quick for Hulk to counter, because Thor lands an all out electrically charged Mjolnir blow. As hard as he can. Thor is now fighting angrily like a god, because he mocks the Hulk after, and mocks HIMSELF with that statement, and this is how I know it. Thor, is now pummeling Hulk off a building hitting him with fists, and lightning and the hammer, and pounds him into the ground. Hulk get's up, after Thor lands.
NOW, here it is,. Thor just pummeled Hulk off a building, and all the way down to the ground, and says "haah...haaaah I...I cannot beat you, you know, and I never could".....to which Hulk says "I...I knew", then Thor screams "did you now!!?" he wasn't admitting he couldn't beat the Hulk. He just dominated Hulk down to the ground, and then took Hulk's perspective of Thor, and used it to taunt Hulk by mocking himself. Because Thor, who has always held back to SOME degree against Hulk, the second category Thor I mentioned, really couldn't beat Hulk. But Thor knows if he were to put aside his oaths, and actually really cut loose, he could put him down. But because that simply isn't who Thor is, he could never beat him. That's why he said it, and the "DID YOU NOW!?" was sarcastic, because as far as Hulk knows, he's taken everything Thor has, but Thor yelled that because he knew he was going to get the better of him, as he was unleashing everything at that point. He was essentially saying, think what you thought, but right now, you are fighting Thor unrestrained, and you will lose this fight. At that point, they both charged eachother, probably trying to land a blow, Thor hit Hulk (charged with lightning of course, using his powers) SO hard, that he knocked him into space.
Yes, he didn't KO him. But the fact of the matter is that this fight was the only time Thor has ever REALLY gone ALL out against Hulk. His words, and how they correlated with the fight show that. I can never beat you (because he will never use EVERYTHING he has against a mortal) but the fact that Thing got hurt, and the fact that he seemed to be sick of never officially beating Hulk, he gave it everything he had this time, (he passed out at the end of the fight) Thor won the fight. I don't care what anyone says. This was an amped Hulk vs an..essentially blood lusted Thor. Thor tackled hulk off the building and beat him on the way to the ground. They both got up, Thor made the sarcastic comment, and then they both went at each other, Thor hit Hulk harder, so hard that he knocked his enemy into space. That's a win.
