It was in a cross over back in 70's, 80's I don't know but it was an old ass issue. The Hulk pounded on Supes with "punches that could shatter mountains" but failed to even move Supes. The whole thing sucked!
I replyed this to a guy in another forum who said Superman had beated HULK three times already and that HULK was no match for him, so I am posting this in case here is anybody who is still confused about this subject.

The same guy(HULK) Superman beat in THREE WHACKS, THREE WHACKS, THREE WHACKS?
First of all I´d like to say that THE HULK who fought that pre-crisis Superman was not the real HULK we know and love from current Marvel continuity, it was a diferent HULK, product of a lame attempt of cross over story, based on the idea of the multiverse... where there was supposed to be a reality where Superman and that weak HULK lived toghether as well as all Marvel and Dc superheros...
but after the Crisis on the infinity earths that reality was deleted, and so it should be that ridicolous battle from the memory and records of comics fandome.
Second:
If I recall correctly Doomsday did the same thing when he first encouter Superman, he hitted his chest with aparent no effect... but at the end of that battle The Man of Steel got killed.... so we could hipotetically say that THE HULK would have been able to do the same thing if the fight had lasted longer.
Third:
The fight THE HULK had vs Superman in the 1996 crossover it was an imaginary story "a las" "WHAT IF" comic of what would happen if the earliest HULK incarnation had meet the first Superman there was?
And if I remember correctly Superman DID NOT beat THE HULK in that issue... they fought each other to a stand still, and Supes admited that "THE HULK was the strongest being he had ever faced", and I could even add that the second clash they had in that book Supes took THE HULK off guard (Puny cape man) and at the end of the story it was THE HULK and NOT Superman the one who was able to resist and destroy the Gamma Rays machine and saved the lives of every body (Superman included).
And finally:
The only battle THE HULK has lost to Superman that could fit in current continuity ocurred in Marvel vs DC #3 where by the way Superman stated that THE Professor HULK (who was not the strongest HULK incarnation) "took everything he had and almost stood up to it".
And
everybody knows that the outcome of that battle was nothing but a voting contest where a lot of people like you who knows nothing of THE HULK´s superior strenght voted for that puny and stupid cape man!
