Well I like to place the SSJGSS's at 7.5, so if Boo absorbs them both I guess it's an equal fight power wise (Boo's power really does absolutely nothing at this stage). Whis should win with his mastery of fighting. Boo's regeneration should keep him in the game, and maybe wear Whis down, but I just think Whis is too good of a fighter after what he said to Goku and Vegeta in F whilst training them.
So Whis wins.

Golden (FnF)
I have First Form Freeza at SSJ3 Goku/Kid Boo level.
I place True Form Freeza ahead of SSJ Vegetto by a bit, probably equal to Vegetto as a SSJ2.
Golden Freeza in my head is 10x his True Form.
The fusion wins if Yamcha and Chaozu are also from the Android saga.
DBZAOTA482 wrote:Base Goku (Android Saga) + Tenshinhan (Boo Saga) Potara Fusion vs. Base Gohan (Boo Saga)
Most likely the fusion. The potara boost is rather gargantuan, and I don't have more than a 2x gap between Goku and Tien so them being somewhat close in power would overall help the fusion.
DBZAOTA482 wrote:Idasa + Ikosa Potara Fusion vs. Majin Spopovich
Same as above.
DBZAOTA482 wrote:Chi-Chi vs. Videl (25th Budokai) + Blonde Lunch Potara Fusion
The fusion might be too much.
DBZAOTA482 wrote:Ultimate Gohan +Tenshinhan (Boo Saga) Potara Fusion vs. Bootenks
Fusing with Tenshinhan would make Gohan weaker. To me, the gap between Gohan and Tien is bigger than the gap between Goku and Mark.
DBZAOTA482 wrote:Chi-Chi (23rd Budokai) vs. Majin Spopovich + Yamu Potara Fusion ; Kamehameha is optional for her
Chichi could one-shot either of them individually... but a fusion of them should definitely win.
TheGmGoken wrote:SSGSS Goku (Movie 6) vs Golden Cooler (Movie 5)
If Golden Frieza was stronger than SSGSS Goku, then Cooler would also likely be on the fortunate end of having such an advantage. With that said, this is all going to be heavily dependent on how much Goku has actually improved since Movie 5. I always saw Movie 5 Goku more or less within the same realm of power as his Yardrat self and Movie 6 Goku comparable to how powerful he was after he completed his 3 year training for the androids. Barring any issues pertaining to stamina, I'm going to have to say either fighter could end up with a favorable outcome.
New Battle:
Golden Frieza (no stamina issues) vs Super 17 (after absorbing SSJ4 Goku's Kamehameha, SSJ4 Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, and SSJ Vegetto's Big Bang Kamehameha)
I still say Frieza crushes this android with a moderate amount of difficulty. My guess is that Golden Frieza is at the very least a few tiers short of Omega Shenron, if not already there.

Super #17 wrecks Golden Freeza.

I have Super #17 as strong as Whiss, so the Dragon Fist would kill Freeza, and Super Yi Xing Long would just finger flick Freeza.

North Kaioshin wins all of these matches, with at the most, a mild level of difficulty. East Kaioshin, the weakest among his brethren, was already implied to be slightly above Cell Jr. / Piccolo.

AvatarReiko wrote:Vegeta's final explosion vs SSJ3 Goku
Genki Dama(against Kid Buu) vs Buuhan
17 and/or 18 vs Big Bang from SSJ Vegeta(android saga)
The combatants in this scenario have to take the attack head on. They can't dodge.
-SSJ3 Goku casually tanks the blast with minor injuries, but making it out completely unscathed may be out of the question. Fat Buu, who was a decent amount below SSJ3 Goku was able to survive the attack, so this shouldn't be too daunting of a task for the latter. Although one might argue that Buu's survival could be attributed to his regeneration, what's relevant is that he still pulled through the entire ordeal.
-The Spirit Bomb almost failed against Kid Buu, there's no way it's even going to budge Buuhan.
-The androids would suffer some nasty damage, but the end result would likely be in their favor. On the contrary, the damage inflicted from taking such a powerful attack head-on may give Vegeta just the advantage he needs to put those teenage toys in their place.

- Goku gets seriously injured by that explosion but survivies
- Hmm. Does Buuhan really count at totally evil even though he has pure hearted beings within at that time (Gohan, Piccolo, Goten and Trunks)? If so, the Genki Dama decimates him. If not, he's pushing that shit back.
- Either one of them shrugs that attack off.

Piccolo vs King Piccolo (equal power, unlimited stamina)
Final Form Freeza (FnF) vs Super Baby Vegeta
- Dr Gero wins, easy
- I'd give this to Yamcha
- This match could go either way. But I'd back King Piccolo to win as he is more cunning and tactical in battle.
- SBV crushes Freeza.
