Thor at his very best has blown up an entire planet by punching Beta Ray bill while standing on it, that alone surpasses every feat that Hulk has shown even the peak he reaches in World War Hulk (footsteps destroying the east coast).

Also when he fought the Celestials he punched one so hard that the shockwaves from his punches threatened to destroy a nearby planet, he had to stop fighting and go to the planet to stop it from being destroyed.

Thor at his best without holding back at all, is easily stronger than the Hulk has ever shown, and if we compare their battles they have both won most recently during Fear Itself we saw Hulk and Thing pumped up to extreme power levels engage Thor and lose, Thor even knocked Hulk into orbit and almost killed The Thing, this is Thor starting to let loose, but still not unleashing his true power, since his true power can make Ego the Living Planet turn back and even cause Galactus to be harmed badly.

Hercules full feats of strength easily match The Hulk, yes we all know Hulk is strong, but let's remember that no matter how strong the strongest human is, A God will always surpass him.

The exact reason Stan Lee made Thor was to make a character stronger than the Hulk and the only way to make someone stronger than the Strongest Human was to make the character a God, and there, Marvel's Thor was born.
