Goku loses all the time in GT when he is alone, so it's a draw.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. 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.

Yamcha at least got a filler victory in Z against Recoome, and while he did get killed by a Saibaman at least he took his killer with him; he didn't make him stronger to the point where a whole new form of fusion was needed to be introduced to beat him. So Gohan.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

He also beat Olibu, as long as we're counting filler. And a bunch of random baseball players.

Technically Gohan won only one fight and then lost. I give it to Gohan as not only did he get the spotlight, but he forever loses it after this which is a pretty big fail.

Who finishes their Math test first?

Dr. Gero, Dr. Myuu, Dr. Brief, Dr. Raichi, Dr. Frappe or Dr. Uiro?

Nah, Gohan may be a book worm but I doubt he's smart enough to make an android of any kind or a Dragon Radar for that matter, even by the end of Z.

Gokua gets owned in base and might put a fight, depending on how big you think the boost is, in his buff form.

Normal Cooler rips Gokua's arm off and beats him to death with it.

What feats does Gokua have? I don't remember him leaving much of an impression.

He fought evenly Base Trunks and beat up Base Trunks after transforming.Then he got killed by SSJ Trunks in one hit, arguably because he was off-guard.

The Heran transformation boost REALLY isn't that big. x2 at the very most, since Bojack got wrecked by SS2 Gohan. Base Trunks x 2 is still probably weaker than Freeza. I think the transformation multiplier is only x1.5, so organic Cooler effortlessly takes this without transforming.
