Agreed, he'd need base form to take this.

Seriously, guys? What the fuck? Even "Over 9000" is more funny than this... :|

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

South Kaioshin VS Fat Boo

I think South Kaioshin might win since he was a threat to Kid Boo to make him get absorbed. I don't see Kid Boo absorbing someone weaker then him unless they were a threat somehow. Though I'm sure there are reasons for South Kaioshin being weaker then I think like the Z sword case. I'm open for which ever.

Fat Boo takes him down with ease. I don't think SK is anything special.

I can see the fight ending as good as Dabura fighting Majin Buu.

Here's one - USSJ Trunks vs LSSJ Broly

Broli is superior in both power and speed. Totally domination.

It's GT Goku, but with a dead, adult body, and they are fighting in the After Life.

Oh, and the whole GT logic "Only Goku can win because GT" doesn't count. Don't even bother to make such comments.
SS3 Goku wins via TOEI punch, or Dragon Fist.

LSSJ Broli more than just beats USSJ Trunks, he rapes him and tells him "Here's your daddy?"

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I say "cut the GT crap to have a serious discussion" politely, and still posts that don't contribute in anything keep coming... Soooooo maturity. :thumbup:

I don't care. You (and not only you) are not contributing anything in the discussion with posts like this in this thread. This is an in-universe discussion, so Toei is irrelevant.

Then you shouldn't have mentioned GT in the first place because it's written, directed, and produced by TOEI.

How about this for a solution, If you want to have a battle with GT characters, add the tagline: No GT logic or only Manga logic. Then people can be a little more creative with their posts and theories. :)

Hmm... Bojack probably. Cell may have more skill and intelligence but that can only carry you so far and I see Bojack a good deal above Cell. However Cell could always get a Zenkai in this battle effectively making him a lot stronger than Bojack.
