If you're talking about Ultimate Gohan, then yes, "Gokuhan" would have been an waaaaayyyy stronger potara fusion then Vegetto was.

Didn't Old Kai state somewhere that Goku and Vegeta's rivalry made their fusion even stronger? If that's the case, maybe Gokuhan would only be equal or even slightly inferior.

Mystic Gohan is already way above Vegeta and making Gokhan way above SSj Vegito in terms of power. Gokhan would beat the crap out of Buutenks in seconds until the fusion is over.

Given the wildly varying strengths of the three Potara fusions we see, I don't think it's as simple as "more power = more power".

Gohan is waaaay beyond Goku at this point, and while that could mean his raw strength makes the fusion powerful, it could also mean the fusion fizzles like Kibitokai, or the theorized Gokule.

I agree with this. I believe the fusion wouldn't get more powerful, but instead of being as drastic as Vegetto it could end up with Gohans power x 5-10 IMO. Still really good but not Vegetto. I just believe it's that because the difference between Goku and Gohan is too drastic.

At that time Gohan was more powerful than Vegeta, so it would seem that Gokkuhan would be stronger.
Also something i have wondered about, does the ultimate power up let Gohan use SSJ3 power in base form? surely it dose, Gohan was beating super buu.

Gokhan wouldn't have as much of the rivalry boost as Vegetto had, but the Gohan half is MUCH stronger than the Vegeta half, so, IMO, that would more than compensate for the power that Gokhan wouldn't gain due to not having a rivalry boost. So, Gokhan would end up stronger than Vegetto overall.

Pretty much what I go for. I think a Gokan would just fall into a similar category as Kibitoshin. I think the closer the the BP, the better, as well as some compatibility traits too.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Old Kaioshin was confident in a Goku - Gohan fusion and even stated that the fusion might win in his normal/base form if I remember correctly, so I highly doubt it would backfire or be underwhelming.

I don't think it would be underwhelming in the sense that it couldn't beat Buu - Son Go* would crush Buu handily, especially since Buu couldn't absorb Gohan in this scenario.

But it's not like Vegetto was putting forth any kind of effort either, so there's not much comparison possible. At absolute maximum, I think Vegetto would be stronger than Go*, but when the hell would that ever happen?

I would imagine Goku and Gohan did fuse together then they would end up getting absorb in order to save Goten, Trunks and Piccolo inside of them. I think nothing would have changed other than not having Uub be born.

I don't know. The two weaker potara fusions consisted of a Kaioshin and someone weaker than a Kaioshin, whereas Vegetto and "Gokuhan" both have component people who are stronger than a Kaioshin. If it was a matter of other factors instead of higher power, than Elder Kaioshin would have had Goku fuse with East Kaioshin instead of with Gohan.
