To Summarize my argument Goku is a born fighter, and has the power, speed and strength to take down Superman.
Goku's techniques such as Ki blasts and Maniuplation, Instant Transmission, Combat sense, the Dragon Fist, and Telekensis trump Superman's abilites.
Goku's destructive power is insane, and rivaled by cosmic beings and God's. Goku can blow up planets with ease, and could blow up a large portion of the Galaxy at full power SSJ3. Superman has never come close to that power.
When Goku can use Ki to bolster there already insane hitting power, Goku literally shakes the planet by the shockwaves his punches produces.
Goku's combat speed and Instant Transmission are way beyond Superman's level, showing how in base he can go FTL the Super Sayain forms would be even faster. In a fight, combat speed Goku is unmatched.
Goku's martial arts and fighting techniques completely surpass Superman.
Frieza can survive Namek exploding with his body chopped in half, SSJ Goku can do it easily.
Combined these factors and it concludes to Goku beating Superman. Anything at SSj2 level or above is enough to put down Superman. Goku and Dragon Ball Z characters have Ki which is a life force that determines how powerful each character is. The power scaling rule is the more Ki (higher power level) the more power, strength, speed, stamina durabiity, abilities ect. This differentiates DBZ characters from comics book superhero's like Superman or Captain Marvel, who have different powers, skills, strengths and weaknesses.
That then brings us to the infamous ABC logic. ABC logic means that:
A character > B character > C character,
That A will always beat C because A beat B. This logic is usually disregarded in comic battles and debates because it is oftentimes faulty. Usually because of special conditions on a character, plot stupidity or some skills can be more effective on certain characters. However this is not the case in DBZ. DBZ follows the strict power level rule that the higher power level the more powerful a character is. This helps DBZ determine how powerful a character is even if they have little feats or screentime.
These I will discuss in great detail and will give my case for why Goku wins. They go in order.

These are how much goku's power increases by:
SSj = 50X multiplier
Full Power SSJ The Stronger Super Sayain after training in Hyperbolic time chamber Cell Saga
SSj2 = 100X multiplier
SSj3 = 400X multiplier
No way does Superman's power increase to that level. Goku can destroy planets at ease, he can destroy a portion of the galaxy with SSJ3.
So now you know why Goku is more than a match for Superman. Leave your comments and thoughts below.
