Chaozu-Best fight was his only fight. against Krillin at the Tenkaichi Budokai.
Yamcha-Fighting Hero (disguised as Kami) at the Tenkaichi Budokai
Tenshinhan-Fighting Goku the first time at the Tenkaichi Budokai

Dammit, all the best human fights are in Dragonball. In the Budokai even. :|

Chiaotzu: Krillin

Gohan: Buutenks (anime)

Goku: Cell

Goten: didn't he only have one fight, period?

Krillin: the fight with the saiyans was his best moment, even if he technically wasn't the main event there.

Piccolo: Goku.

Tenshinhan: Goku

Trunks: Future 17 and 18

Vegeta: first fight with Goku

Yajirobe: Goku

Yamcha: Recoome, if filler counts. If not, the Saibaman.

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.

Chiaotzu: His fight with Kuririn.

Gohan: Hmm, this one is hard. Perhaps his fight with Gotenks-Boo for how hard he fought and breaking out of the Galactica Donuts. Also like his contribution to the Vegeta battle.

Goku: I love his fight with Vegeta, but his fight with Cell is up there. It's a toss up between the two, but I'd say the fight with Vegeta is better if I'm including the entire fight.

Goten: His fight against Trunks, the only one he had. :P

Kuririn: I think it'd be his fight against Piccolo Junior. Did admirably well there.

Piccolo: Either his first fight with Goku, or the battle with Nappa for his sacrifice.

Tenshinhan: I don't really know. Maybe the battle with Nappa.

Trunks: Probably his battle against Freeza & Cold.

Vegeta: His battle with Goku.

Yajirobe: His very first battle.

Yamcha: I don't know.

Chiaotzu: Nappa.. Not much of a fight but my favorite for him.
Gohan: Cell. He really pushed him and made him a cut above the rest this fight.
Goku: Vegeta, hands down. I feel like he was more of to a challenge to Goku than Frieza.
Goten: Trunks
Kuririn:
Piccolo: Goku for the obvs.
Tenshinhan: I enjoyed his fight with Master Roshi. It was more than physical. It was of the mind as well, trying to persuade and convince Tien to stop his douche ways.
Trunks: I don't really like much of Trunks fights.. In universe, probably Cell and his multiple attempts to kill the androids. In general I like his fight with Tien. I know it wasn't serious but I like it.
Vegeta: Goku, hands down.
Yajirobe: http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... e_gang.jpg
Yamcha: Against Kami. That spirit ball sequence is so amazing.

Chiaotzu: His fight with Kuririn. Only real fight he had outside of the Saiyan battle.
Gohan: His pummeling of Boo was a very satisfying and cool fight.
Gokuu: His fight with Piccolo at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. The best throw down in the entire series.
Goten: Fight with Trunks. Derp.
Kuririn:His fight with Gokuu at the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai.
Piccolo: Fight with #17.
Tenshinhan: The finals of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai was a great showcase of how awesome Tenshinhan is.
Trunks: If we're talking Mirai Trunks, then his battle with Cell (in the anime specifically) as a Grade 3 Super Saiyan was epic...though ultimately fruitless.
Vegeta: His fight against Gokuu & co. What a beatin' this dude took.
Yajirobe: With Gokuu, naturally.
Yamcha: With Tenshinhan at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Has some cool moments which is saying a lot for this unfortunate dolt.

Chiaotzu: His ongoing sexual tension-fueled feud with Lunch. ...Or maybe his fight with Kuririn.
Gohan: His fight with Cell at the Cell Games, no question.
Goku: The championship match of the 23rd Budokai against Piccolo. Not even the fights with Vegeta or Freeza can rival this.
Goten: Does sparring count? I actually think I kind of like his sparring with Gohan a little more than I do his fight against Trunks.
Kuririn: Probably...hmm. Probably a three-way tie between his fight with Goku at the 22nd Budokai; his fight with Piccolo at the 23rd; and honestly, his attempt to fight off Cell after 18 got absorbed. Believe it or not, I find his actions pretty admirable there.
Piccolo: His fight against Goku at the 23rd. I love that fight way too much.
Tenshinhan: Probably his first fight against Goku at the 22nd.
Trunks: Guess it's more of a slaughter than a fight, but I really enjoy him taking on Freeza.
Vegeta: Probably just the collective-fights he has on Namek while he's just running around taking charge of things. If not that, probably his fight with Goku.
Yajirobe: Well...he did take down Cymbal.
Yamcha: His first fight against Goku, primarily in the manga. Love when he gets bounced off the panel's edge.

Wait, do you mean his battle with Kami at the 23rd Budokai or his battle with Tenshinhan at the 22nd Budokai?

Chiaotzu-Probably him blowing up against Nappa. The Krillin fight was funny, but everyone else is picking it, and I must be different! :P
Gohan-As a kid, his going berserk on 3rd form Freeza is my favorite. As an adult, the anime version of him vs. Buutenks.
Goku-The fight with Piccolo at the 23rd Budokai. Both fighters just kept pulling out new attacks and used everything they had.
Goten-The fight with Trunks, I guess. I try not to acknowledge Gotenks.
Krillin-Him distracting second form Freeza.
Piccolo-Same as Goku's.
Tien-None. I don't like the character.
Trunks-Him killing Cell was pretty cool.
Vegeta-This one's tough...probably the anime Majin Vegeta fight. In the manga, it's his Saiyan Arc fight.
Yajirobe-Him vs Cymbal.

Wow you dislike Tenshinhan and Yamcha that much you cannot pick a favourite fight? Well at least you managed to break the word filter. O_O

Oh, I must have missed Yamcha. His fight with Goku was pretty cool, I guess.

As for the word filter, that's interesting. I didn't notice that.

It doesn't classify Tien- and Ti en (pretend that space isn't there) as the same word. The only time I actually manually type "Tenshinhan" is when doing power levels, so it doesn't look like:

Tien- 1,830
Oh, I must have missed Yamcha
No one misses Yamcha.

Same. I always forget the second "n" for some reason, so it's easier just typing "Tien.

Anyway, I guess his best fight, if I have to pick one, would be the rematch against Goku in the 23rd Budokai.
