Gog was taking on Johnny Thunder (a 5D imp), Alan Scott (wth Starheart), PG, Starman, Liberty Belle, AND Kingdom Come Superman...and Steel laid him out with punches.
The team Gog defeated: (please log in to view the image)
I know what Steel did, IMO Despero feat was greater. Gog for the most part was getting blasted and was getting punched by 2 Cl 100 characters. Despero was getting punched by 4 Class 100 characters. For all we know Gog might be extremely resistant to EB.
Despero is far more consistent. Heck even in 90s he was taking on JLA, JLE, Congolomarte, Lobo and several other heroes at once and was wrecking them throughout four issues.
Aside from that, his only legitimate, PIS-free loss(that I can recall) was to E2/BL Superman... Who was trans-level, easily.
Aside from dropping 3rd World Gog with a scant 2 punches, he also no-sold a punch from Herald-Gog, before casually swatting him aside--and Herald-Gog was wrecking the cumulative JSA(which included Alan Scott, KC Superman, Obsidian, Starman, PG, etc.), and no less than equal to DotNG Infinity Man.
CS also went toe-to-toe with Grundy, and was having the time of his life during the fight.
He also no-sold an all-out, no holds barred punch from PG. He was actually pissed that he couldn't even feel it.

It was a great feat, but I don't think it was better, tbh. He slapped around Flash, J'onn, Lobo, and a few other B/C-Listers(D-Listers if you count Guy .)
I don't deny that most of Steel's showings s trength wise are PG level except the Gog feat, but lets remember that the gog feat is the only one where he removed his suit. The suit that was designed and built to restrain his strength so that he wasn't a danger to those around him. It's why he moves so slow, he literally has to bend a solid metal suit with the tensile strength of an orbital lander just to move.
The OP didnt mention suitless so the way I see it that feat shouldnt be the standard we should take.
Nothing says he can't my point simply was he won't start with the suit off and therefore the start of a fight will be dishing out the same level of damage as PG as such is not likely to really do much damage to Despero in the opening part of the fight.
that being the case Despiro has a chance of taking him down before he gets to that point. then again his durability is up regardless of suit on or off, so he can probably tank it till he tears it off
