In no particular order,

Goku vs Piccolo Jr (23rd TB)
Goku vs Vegeta (Saiyan arc)
Tenshinhan vs Jackie Chun
Goku vs Freeza (namely the "base" form part in terms of choreography, but the Super Saiyan portion has fantastic story and character beats)
Everyone vs Kid Boo

Honorable mention to Recoome vs Vegeta, Raditz vs Goku & Piccolo and Kuririn vs Piccolo Jr.

Piccolo vs Goku (Tournament 23)
I love Piccolo vs Frieza. It's one of the first fights I'd search for during the early days of Youtube. I was shocked to recently learn that the fight is incredibly short in the manga. The anime gave it that big fight feel while adding some cool sequences to it.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

5. Goku vs Jackie Chun
I forgot how much fun this fight is after rereading the manga not too long ago. The anime also has that kick-ass insert song to top it all off.

4. Piccolo vs 17
I love fights that don't involve the protagonist and the main antagonist. This is one of those few fights in the series that really grabbed my attention. A stand out for me was that scene where Piccolo and 17 are gut punching the shit outta each other.

3. Goku vs Majin Vegeta
It has some of the best fighting animation in Z. Best part of the fight isn't even the action. The scene where Vegeta begins to show his cracks and admits that he wants to return to how he was before always gets me.

2. The entire Broly fight (Super)
In terms of spectacle, this is the best, without question. It just keeps on escalating. We go from snow, to lava, to a broken dimension and then ending it off with a break-neck battle while Shenron is summoned in the background. The beginning of Goku and Broly's fight is seriously some of the best hand drawn animation I've ever seen. I didn't want to pick just one fight from the movie since it all happens one after the other. It feels more appropriate to have it as one battle.

1. Goku, Freeza and 17 vs Jiren
Specifically from the moment where Goku achieves complete Ultra Instinct up until Jiren's elimination, this is Dragon Ball action at its best. What makes it stand out from the rest is that last assault by Goku, Freeza and 17. The animation in Super's last two episodes goes into full gear. Goku trying to just barely tap into Super Saiyan is one of my favourite shots. 17 faking his death and showing up at the most pivotal moment might be my favourite twist in the series. Find me another anime franchise that can get this kind of reaction out of people.

Yeah I've never been able to get into Super, maybe I'd like it if I actually committed to it but I've never felt a need to. I'm perfectly satisfied with the original Dragon Ball story.

1. Goku vs Piccolo (Dragon Ball Evolution)
2. Goku vs the Bullies
3. Goku vs Grandpa Gohan (Evolution)

No need for 4 or 5. These fights were so intense you only need 3.
On his 18th birthday, Goku (Justin Chatwin) receives a mystical Dragonball as a gift from his grandfather. There are only six others like it in the whole world, and legend has it that whomever possesses all seven will be granted one perfect wish. When the arrival of a dark force triggers a tragedy, Goku and his companions (Chow Yun-Fat, Emmy Rossum) are propelled into an epic quest to collect the seven Dragonballs and save the Earth from destruction.
