Maximus vs Goku

Maximus from Gladiator. No energy attacks, and speed equalized.

Imo, edge to Maximus.

The fact Whis and Beerus even brought up Toppo being buried by rubble as a thing proves he was vulnerable to it, as are the less durable Goku and Vegeta.

Um... I certainly hope there's another version of "Gladiator" where characters have superpowers and shit.

Because, does, anyone need to bring up that Goku is still overwhelmingly physically superior by many orders of magnitude?

Maxiimus is more badass then Goku can ever hope to be. He solos all of Dragon Ball.

Maximus stomps because Goku is vulnerable to pointy things with his human level durability. Maximum is also a better fighter since he learned the ways of the Gladiator and since Goku is weak against forest fire, he could scrape his blade onto the ground creating heat and throwing that conjured heat into Goku eyes blinding him (and shanking him of course). Equalizing speed only made this a stomp since Maximus was already far more faster, durable and powerful than anyone on DBS and DBZ. Easy fight.
