At the time yeah Gohan was the strongest. But just how he was the strongest at the Cell saga and later overthrown by Goku it easy t say that the same happened from the Buu saga to the final battle. Another fact is that during said time Gohan went into studies while Earth's protector was training much much more.
Side note, in the movie 'Wrath of the Dragon' Mystic Gohan fails to handle the enemy while SSJ3 Goku does it with one hand behind his back. Don't know or care if you all count this as cannon but it still highlights my earlier point.

Unless his powers decreased by GT (highly doubtful) then his strength would stay the same. Also Mystic Gohan is alot stronger then SSJ3 Goku but as seen in GT fights is nothing compared to 4. And GT is so much stronger then when fighting buu as he was able to beat a stronger Freeza and Cell in base form. I'll even go far enough to say EndGT Goku SSJ1 or 2 can beat buu.

Even though there is a great difference in the strength levels between Mystic Gohan and SS3 Goku, IMO, the strength difference between SS3 Goku and SS4 Goku is even greater.

I agree.
Except, the difference between SSJ3 Goku and Mystic Gohan is not very big at all: in fact, they are almost the same. When Buu Gets serious, he kicks Gohan's ass just the same as Goku's, except, I think a couple of times, Goku got some hits in on a serious that version of Buu...making the argument that SSJ3 Goku is faster than Mystic Gohan (in the anime, only). I'd say the difference is the difference between Goku and Perfect Cell when they fought each other in the Cell games (Cell was stronger, but not by much)

gohan overpowered a stronger buu while i couldnt say the same for fat buu
Originally posted by dadudemonIn the manga, SSJ3 Goku essentially told Piccolo that even if he would have continued powering up to his max, he didn't think he could have beaten fat Buu. Other side of the coin, Mystic Gohan made Super Buu (who was a good deal more powerful than fat Buu) look like a weak feeb.

So in my opinion, Mystic Gohan's power was well beyond that of SSJ3 Goku.
