Based on statements/feats from the manga: Buff Buu(Southern Kaioshin absorbed)>Super Buu>>Kid Buu. For Southern Kaioshin to increase Pure Buu's power to beyond Super Buu-level means he must have been extremely powerful--moreso than Pure Buu by a good margin, imo. Regardless, Buu doesn't typically absorb others unless they possess power ~/> his own. That said, I feel confident in assuming that Southern Kaioshin was around Pure Buu's level at the very least.

Um... No. Buff Buu had no feats from the manga. Only that he was stronger than Super Buu, which Kid Buu himself was as well, going by Goku's attitude towards fighting him.
Also, Buu has absorbed a lot of people weaker than him, including Piccolo, Goten and Trunks.

In the manga, Goku said that he was "FAR" weaker than Super Buu, but managed to give Pure Buu a good fight even at less than full power, and stated that he could easily destroy him at full power.
ie. Super Buu>>>SSJ3 Goku~/>Pure Buu.
This isn't canonically debatable. If you try to use your "anime canon>manga canon" troll-logic, it will be ignored and possibly reported. Just letting you know that now. 👆

Again, Buu typically absorbs beings ~/> himself. Obvious examples:
Mr. Buu
SSJ3 Gotenks
Mystic Gohan
Vegito
Point: Buu absorbs beings to become more powerful. I doubt he would have absorbed the Southern Kaioshin unless he gleaned the same result: added power... This was made even more blatant when Goku/Vegeta noted that Buff Buu's ki>Super Buu's ki.
ie. Buff Buu>Super Buu>>>SSJ3 Goku~/>Pure Buu>Mr. Buu.

Ah, good to know you concede. Plus, tertiary cannon supports my claims as well, so... You lose. 😉
Also, Buu typically uses absorption as a last resort. He absorbed Piccolo because he was smarter than all the others. That gave him a much needed advantage(apparently).
All the other times he's used absorption was because he was losing a fight, or because he wanted to kill someone. Or simply because he was in danger. He's never done it otherwise. That simply means he wanted to kill West kai and couldn't do so otherwise.
Also, you're using anime cannon yourself, pal. Goku said in the manga that he couldn't kill Kid Buu, because he overestimated SSJ3, but in the anime, he said he could kill him easily at full power.

So are you THIS full of crap all the time, or are you just selectively trolling me? Either way, it's hilarious.

So what's your point? He couldn't beat SSJ3 Goku either.
You're forgetting that right after Vegeta said that, Goku replied by saying, "That's what I've been trying to do this whole time, but I haven't been able to yet! Darn, if only I had a minute to charge, I'd be able to reach full power!", disproving Vegeta's current statement, and even surprising him. None of these statements suggest that SSJ3 Goku could beat him by himself. In fact, they suggest the exact opposite, since Goku specifically said he hadn't been, "able to yet.". This means that manga Goku couldn't beat Kid Buu, unless he had a full minute to charge up extra ki to attack him.
Anime Goku only needed the minute to charge because he had been going easy and wasting ki, so that Vegeta would have a turn. I can provide the scene. 👆

Literally none of that has anything to so with what I said.
How's that?
You said South Kai was stronger than SSJ3 Goku, because Kid Buu had to absorb him to beat him. But Kid Buu couldn't beat SSJ3 Goku at full power either.
You said, "From the VIZ manga...
Vegeta: "Finish Buu off, Kakarrot! Build up your chi with Super Saiyan 3, and you'll be able to easily obliterate him."
So are you THIS full of crap all the time, or are you just selectively trolling me? Either way, it's hilarious.", so I gave the rest of the scene, where Goku in the manga specifically said he needed a minute to charge to beat Kid Buu, whereas he had been toying with him to give Vegeta a chance to fight him in the anime, meaning he could have beaten him at the start of the fight.
So in the manga, SSJ3 Goku(at full power) > South Kai. In the anime, SSJ3 Goku(period) > South Kai. That was my point. 👆
Maybe you should take some english classes.
We never saw any part of South Kaioshin's battle with Pure Buu in the manga--all we know is that Buu felt the need to absorb him. We also know that Buff Buu(South Kaioshin absorbed)>Super Buu. That said, South Kaioshin may have been effortlessly stomping Pure Buu, OR they may have just been peers... The manga didn't tell us one way or the other.
Either way, I'm not sure why you're throwing these red-herrings my way. If you're looking for my opinion of this battle, please refer to my first post in this thread. 🙂

Have you not understood this entire argument so far? The point was to determine that someone who is stronger than Buu can kill him. If South Kai was really as strong as you believe, then Buu would have been killed by him, since he was fighting all the Kai's separately, 1-on-1. There would have been no reason for South Kai to be exploited in cockiness, or give mercy to Buu, since he already killed a kai or two.
Of course, there is the slight probability that South Kai was stronger than Kid Buu, but the most likely thing to have happened was that Buu simply deemed him strong enough to be worthy of absorption. In fact, the only one throwing up red-herrings here is you, considering you're trying to justify the thread itself by assuming that South Kai was as stupid and cocky as Gotenks and Gohan, even though he had millions of years of fighting experience above them. All you're doing is assuming the height of his power, which is not even gaugeable. For all we know, he could have been stronger than Bills, but was simply fooling around and let Buu absorb him.
That assumption though is completely ludicrous, and based on nothing. Which is the same thing your argument here is based on. 👆

Blabbering? It's ironic that you always end up using the perfect words to insult your own argument, but use them to insult mine.
Anyway, my point was to:
1. Prove that South Kai was weaker than SSJ3 Goku.
and
2. Prove that Anime cannon and Manga cannon are two very different things. Since South Kai was only physically given any feats in the anime, I was using that. I'm not saying that anime cannon>manga cannon, but there are instances where that is true, which is only when the anime is supported by the Daizenshuu or Toriyama himself.

I did forget that he was physically shown when I said that, but he still wasn't shown fighting Buu, which makes his power entirely presumptuous at that point, since we have no real feats to go by.
However, we can assume he was probably strong enough to do some damage to Kid Buu, but simply not even close to what Goku was capable of. This is because he was unable to kill Buu on his own, which proves that he's obviously inferior to him, and therefore SSJ3 Goku. 👆
Also, we of course have to exclude PIS from the Buu saga, because Gohan should have killed Buu when he first showed up, and not sat around and let him absorb Gotenks and Piccolo.
