Superman has many versions, so has the hulk.

Someone says that Superman Prime will defeat hulk.
Superman Prime was maxed out by the source.
so lets maxed out hulk's power to max by The One Above All
TOAA is a superior being to the source or the presence, so it can be assumed that his maxed out hulk is superior as well.

A single punch from a max strength hulk will reduce superman to atoms.

Superman's powers have changed in nearly every comic book series. The Superman you are describing is the Golden Age Superman which is what powers he started with but slightly enhanced to include flying.
Superman never flew originally he could only leap tall buildings in a single bound and had trouble stopping a locomotive train.
On the opposite end of the spectrum there is Superman Prime who IMO would eat Hulk for breakfast, this Superman is able to destroy galaxies and move planets at will. He is essentially a god and is no match for anyone apart from other gods.

So yeah the Hulk would probably easily beat Golden Age Superman but wouldn't even come close to beating Superman Prime or even Silver Age Superman.

Edit to Add

Superman is reliant on the yellow sun for his powers but his body is able to store solar energy for quite a while. This is what enables him to travel vast distances in space. So even if you took the yellow sun away Superman would still have his powers for a while.

You forgot that Hulk has god mode. Cosmic Hulk. It's when he's blue.

Huk still needs to be able to breath. No air in space, and since he can't fly wouldn't be able to escape the yellow sun gravity...

In theory anyway.

I don't know if it was ever a part of the comics but in the avengers movie, Hulk and Banner cannot die.
He says it himself.

Hulks only weakness appears to be lack of thought.
Superman can die from kryptonite.

I'd go with Hulk, puny god.

I knew when Hulk lifted Thor's hammer he was gonna give Superman a beating and he will not stop, two comics I like to read and I do enjoy playing the Hulk with my boys.

im a big fan of superman , and to be honest i really like to see a good challenging fight whenever superman fights an evil guy , since we all know superman is one of the strongest , and if he wins that easily its no fun.
so yeah , i would love hulk to put up a good fight against superman. like hulk leading the first half , but then in the end somehow superman will win the fight.
