DoS Doomsday was taken out (at least for long enough to count as a forum win) by a Superman who was, at the time, much weaker than Gladiator. I vote for Gladiator.

No, he wasn't much weaker if weaker than gladiator at all. His lows are higher than gladiator's and his high end feats are superior to gladiator's.
If you're talking about Superman around and after 1998 or so, maybe, but DoS Superman was just barely leaving the Byrne era, wasn't he?
Going with DOS Doomsday to beat Gladiator. That Doomsday fought and defeated not only Superman (their final match proved their battle was essentially a tie), but Maxima, Martian Manhunter, Supergirl (Matrix), Guy Gardner, Booster Gold, Fire, Ice and Blue Beetle. I dont see Gladiator with the ability to do close to that kind of damage, or beat that level of team.
