How fun would it of been to see Majin Buu basically tank everyone's hits like nothing?

He can't die because, well killing is not allowed. So you basically have to ring him out. That's virtually impossible with him. He can multiply, regenerate, does not lose stamina or power of any. And if he gets mad enough his candy beam can turn virtually anyone into candy. That doesn't work, fine he'll just weasel his way throughout the ring absorbing people.

The fact is Buu is way to op for the tournament. And judging with the power boosts everyone else is getting...i wouldn't want to see a motivated but training. Just keep him out for everyone's sake.

Because of all of these reasons, it would've been even more meaningful to see someone like Toppo knock out Buu in whatever manner he manages to do it. It would validate a character. Instead we have to watch another Frieza appearance again. Nothing fun about seeing a non-main character being reused over and over again.

Buu can be beating by physical force. Evil and Kid Buu nearly killed him just by physically beating him.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Sure he can. But fat buu had been taken a beating throughout the entire saga. At some point he has to lose stamina. In the tournament he'll be 100% healthy. It's gonna take one hell of a beating to get him fatigued.

I think it's a missed opportunity not to have Freeza and Boo meet. Freeza said his father warned him to never go against Majin Buu, and since now Freeza is millions of times stronger than Buu, it would have been fun to see them meet and Freeza to say, "THAT's the creature my father warned me about?"
