KKx10 Goku = final form Freiza

The plot dictates the winner.

Not to mention SS2 Gohan = Ultimate Perfect Cell

From the beginning:

Kid Goku = Roshi in the 21st tournament
Adolescent Goku = Tenshinhan in the 22nd tournament
Goku = Piccolo in the 23rd tournament

It started getting a little stale, so major fights became more one-sided with pivotal moments being evenly matched

Kaioken x3 Goku's Kamehameha = Vegeta's Gallick Gun
Kaioken x20 Goku = half-powered final form Freiza
SSJ Goku = full power final form Freiza

Now even one-sided battles are old news, so give Goku a heart virus, add Vegeta's time-traveling son that turns into a story arc that's a race-against-the-clock to destroy the reborn Red Ribbon Army topped with a super villain who's essentially every other major character combined that gets beaten by Gohan who takes on the mantle of Hero of Earth, which brings the story full-circle in every way imaginable.

Piccolo/Kami fusion = Android 17
Android 16 = strong Imperfect Cell
Tenshinhan's Shinkikoho = Semi-perfect Cell
SSJ2 Gohan = Ultra Perfect Cell

The series gets an artificial extension with the Buu saga, there are no themes, everything that happens is regurgitated from previous sagas, everyone becomes obscenely powerful and there are no evenly-matched fights, the Spirit Bomb finally kills something, and Toriyama sells the franchise off to ensure that he'll never work on it again. =o

SSJ Goku was stronger than Final Form Freiza 100%
Android 16 = Cell form 2 (the stage before Imperfect)
Tien's Tri Beam did not damage whatsoever to to Imperfect Cell. Only managed to stall him.

There's a lot more evenly matches as well

Take Goten vs Trunk's for example.
