Weaker than final form Freeza for sure. He MIGHT be stronger than one or all of the first three forms, but there's nothing substantial supporting it. I personally just have him at 800,000, in between first and second form Freeza, to give him his credit as one of the strongest beings in the universe.

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

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.

I'm guessing not very strong. Strong enough to take out the Ginyu force and maybe Freeza's first few forms, but Final Final form Freeza would take him out 8/10.

I gave him a BP of 270,000 so no I don't think he can take any of Freeza's forms. Hell, I don't even think he can take Krillin whom I have at 360,000 during the Buu arc.

I have him weaker than Final Form Freeza and stronger than equal to 2nd form. I'm not impressed.

I just place Pui Pui, Yakon, and Dabura to be around Saiyan Arc Vegeta, Freeza, and Cell strength.

...ooooh, that's actually kind of cool. The heroes just stomping the equivalent of the previous villains. I mean the whole point of that sequence was to show how far the heroes have gotten, so that's surprisingly fitting. It requires a bit of stretching, but it can work. I'd at least put Pui Pui on par with Ozaru Vegeta, not normal Vegeta, though.

I never saw him as being very strong, maybe around Ginyu force level.

Yakon, on the other hand, would be significantly above 100% Frieza.

Just re-watched the entire Vegeta vs. Pui-Pui fight. It may just be a dub line, but Goku and Gohan do point out that Vegeta seems to have gotten a lot stronger during the fight, after he's shown that he's way, way too much for Pui-Pui to handle (effortlessly blocking his hits, dodging dozens of punches by just barely moving, etc.)

Even if they can't actually sense Pui-Pui's power, they should at least be able to get a general idea of how strong he is by watching him fight, just like how Ginyu did with Goku way back in the day. If being able to embarrass Pui-Pui like that is a sign of Vegeta being a lot stronger than he was back at the Cell Games, then maybe Pui Pui might be as strong as the base Saiyans were back then (or at least close enough that, if Cell Games Vegeta would've fought him instead of Buu saga Vegeta, he might actually put up a decent fight... at least as long as Vegeta stayed in base form.)

Which would still make him a heck of a lot weaker than 100% Freeza, but also way, way above the 10,000s/100,000s ranges that I see some people put him in. It also seems kind of unlikely that he'd be able to take so many hits from Vegeta without being knocked unconscious or horribly injured (not just getting his outer shell all scuffed up and some teeth knocked out like he did) if he had a power level so low that even 1st-form Freeza could beat him... those hits didn't seem like they were just Vegeta's equivalent of Cell lightly swatting Mr. Satan just to get him out of the way or anything, they were real punches/kicks. If he's in the low millions somewhere, then that kind of damage would make more sense.

As strong as an average Saiyan.

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 always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I second this notion. I like the build up of having the fighters represent the previous arc villains, with then leading to the new, much stronger villain.

So someone like Ginyu can survive hits from Boo Arc Base Vegeta? I have Pocus at least around 50% Final Form Frieza

Krillin survived a hit from Cell. Who said Vegeta was using full power in base?

As long as Vegeta isn't trying to kill him, Pui Pui can survive anything the Saiyan throws at him before the finishing blow is delivered.

A. Krillin has been bitch kicked by Cell. B. Vegeta wasn't using his full power. C. Pui Pui thinks 10Gs is impressive. He's a weakling.
