Also, the only indication about Dabra's strength is from the following quote...
"There was this guy...7 years ago, named Cell. I guess they're about the same."
One other quote is used to say he was stronger than Cell, but it's really taken out of context. Goku see's that Dabra can use magic and comments "Whoa, he's better than I thought." which is basically a note about Dabra's skill, not his Ki.
Then you get the huge variable of which "Cell" Goku was talking about. Well, I could go over each one and why and all that jazz...but I'll just say that it would make sense for it to be Cell at the level of power he used when he fought Goku (The Cell Son would remember best because he gets to know people, above all else, through battle.)
Now, Xyex or someone is probably going to storm in and say Goku could have only been talking about Super Kanzentai Seru and all of that and how what I said is impossible and that Toriyama-sensei just forgot to give Gohan the traits of an Ssj2.
But, whatever.
Despite the aura of Gohan when he fights Dabura, he is still SSJ2. Without a doubt. Even in the manga. I have already said I'm not really aura observant, so I wouldn't know, but judging by his hair he is definately SSJ2.
This is Gohan going standard SSJ against those bank robbers at the start of the Saiyaman story.
And this is SSJ2, against Dabura as well.
The main difference is the sharpness, there's more detail on the hair, more strands, and it's more upright.
And Gohan is SSJ2 in the Brolli movie too.
