Goku, a dude who in the entirety of DBZ had to have the help from someone else whether it be the spirit of earth's remaining life or one of his homies, could be beaten by Luffy, a dude who's only /real weakness/ is being submerged in water.

Goku's only edge he has against Luffy is speed, as Luffy needs to shift Gears in order to even reach Goku's default speed.

but Goku's a paperweight and takes a lot of hits in his initial stage of power while Luffy can keep drilling at him. He's much stronger initially than Goku.

Luffy at Gear 2nd / SS Goku are essentially even matched tho
