Beerus's statement isn't comparable even on its face. He says "Well, I guess it's no surprise that you were able to defeat Freeza, but that seems to be the extent of your power"; the intended thrust being that Beerus thinks Super Saiyan 2 is the most that Goku is capable of, not that he's specifically comparing Super Saiyan 2 to Freeza. What Goku says in the Future Trunks arc is a direct power comparison that references another direct power comparison from the Boo arc.
So just to review what we've already gone over: Goku specifically references Boo as his personal benchmark in the first chapter of the manga. Trunks post Z sword training required (read:
required) Super Saiyan 2 to take out Dabura, and that's just a few years prior to where we see him in the Future Trunks arc. We already saw what his SS1 was capable of, with nothing particularly implying that he suddenly rapidly grew to surpassing Gohan with that form in the present. Piccolo is implied to be well below Good Boo during the Universe 6 arc, yet Super Saiyan Goku isn't too far off from Piccolo as Frost's performance demonstrates. Resurrection 'F' is quite literally disqualified from the discussion, but I've already gone over why that's the case in undisputed detail. I could add more, but why even bother?
The comparison Goku makes of Trunks and Gohan that directly references the earlier comparison Vegeta made of Goku and Gohan is just the final nail in the coffin for something the manga has been excruciatingly clear about. There's nothing further to be said. Y'all are twisting yourselves in a knot to justify a reading this version of Super simply doesn't support.
Anyway, like I said, this is going in circles and there's no reason for me to keep elucidating something that I feel was made pretty damn obvious.

According to
Super Hero wafer stickers, Piccolo starts stronger than Base Gohan and weaker than SS Gohan, then his ultimate form is a little above Ultimate Gohan. Gamma 1 and 2 are rivaling Golden Freeza after he lost some strength and Ultimate Gohan is rivaling SSGSS Vegeta.
Ahh, the wafer cards. That takes me back.
I wonder if anybody's collected all of those into a single webpage/resource yet.
