Uhm, ok. Imma try to throw in my two cents about this fight. And this might end up a bit long sooo,... be warned.

Firstly, let's talk about Doomsday "dying". As a baby Doomsday wasn't able to come back to live by himself and had to be cloned by an outside source after every death. He (of course) later gained the ability to simply clone himself automatically should he be defeated. Now it is important to note that Doomsday doesn't need to climb out of hell or transport his soul somewhere; No, he simply regenerates from leftover cells. Kinda like... Cell, I guess. It's Regeneration not Resurrection, so calling it "death" is... debatable to say the least.

Hulk can still win though. He would just have to beat DD up a bunch, throw his "corpse" into an empty looking part of space and boom! Instant BFR. This is possible because, while DD can heal smaller wounds rather quickly, a full on revival take a lot of time.

Moving on: Does Doomsday need to "die" in order to gain a new ability? Easy answer: No. Doomsday can adapt on the fly and evolve to counter his opponent during their fight. Oh and also: Doomsday will not become immune to punching. He has in fact been punched before [citation needed] and never evolved into a being which is staight up immune to physicle attacks. He might grow new bones to protect the previously attacked area, but that's about it.

Talking about bones, Doomsday's are sharp enough to cut Superman and can extend or be shot from his body to attack enemies long range. In combination with his "New 52" super poison, you would think he'd able to win this fight easily buuut Hulk's insane regen and immunity to most poisons makes it unlikely they will affect this fight in any major way.

Ok, with all that out of the way, let me explain why I think Doomsday will win: In his fights against Waverider and Radiant it is shown that he can adapt to cancel out an enemies source of energy. Meaning that if he's confronted with Hulk's Gamma Radiation (when entering World Breaker for example) he might evolve to disperse it. And since the draining of Gamma Radiation is one of the only ways to severely weaken Hulk (to a poit were he will turn into Bruce Banner) and stop his rise to infinite power, I think Doomsday will have a good chance of winning.

Now of course, that's the best case scenario. Maybe DD will evolve to simply be immune to the effects of Gamma Radiation. Or even worse, maybe he will evolve to emit Gamma Radiation himself. It's never been established just how Doomsday's adaptation works and how his cells always know how to perfectly counter his enemy. But as of now it seems to just magicaly work in his favor all the time.

And that's that...

... sorry for the tome.
