Blasphemy, you say? Hate to break it to you Dragon Ball Z fans, but "The Worlds Strongest Fighter" isn't as tough as you think. I'm speaking only about the Dragon Ball Z series (Not Dragon Ball, or GT, or any of the movies). Look at Goku's track record:

Goku vs. Nappa (I meant Raditz): Nappa whips Goku's tail. Aftermath: Goku died.

Goku vs. Vegeta: Vegeta beats the tar outta Goku. Gohan, and Krillin have to take Vegeta down. THEN, when they try to take Vegeta out, Goku says "Vegeta beat the hell out of me. I respect that. Let him go." (I may have mis-quoted).

Goku vs. Cpt. Ginyu: Cpt. Ginyu beats Goku. The ONLY way Goku survives is by trapping Ginyu in a frog's body. CHEATER!

Goku vs. Frieza: The main event! Frieza beats the hell out of Goku. Goku goes blonde, and gives Frieza his best shot. Frieza survives. Can't you finish the job, Goku? The guy killed your best friend, AND the guy you couldn't beat (Vegeta), and countless planets, and Goku can't wipe him out? Lame.

Goku vs. Garlic Jr.: Goku is busy being "dead". Boo Goku! I boo you.

Goku vs Frieza -Round Two: Goku "conveniently" shows up after Trunks has already beaten Frieza. Way to let somebody else fight your battles, Goku.

Goku vs Android 19: Goku has a heart attack in the middle of the fight? Didn't he have TWO YEARS to prepare for it?

Goku vs. Cell: Goku gives up! Then he makes his son fight the guy he couldn't beat. Then Goku dies. Wow. That's just.....wow.

Goku vs. Pikon: Even though he'd dead, Goku is still picking fights. This time, Pikon is kicking Goku's ass. Pikon is clearly stronger, so how does Goku win? With a RING OUT. Fighting game fans know that's the cheapest way to win a fight.

Goku vs. Maajin Vegeta: Goku got "Knocked the fuck out!" Brave Vegeta then goes on to sacrifice himself against Maajin Buu. You could learn a thing or two about being a hero from Vegeta,Goku.

Goku vs. Maajin Buu: After going Super Saiyin 3....after fusing with Vegeta....after using the Dragon Balls....Goku STILL can't beat Buu. How does Goku win? By borrowing spirit energy from EVERY living thing in the universe. What? Thanks a lot, Goku. I was planning to use that spirit energy next month with my girlfriend. Thanks to your shameless borrowing, I can't. You owe me, Kakarrot! Technically, I beat Maajin Buu. Hooray for ME!

In between most of these fights, Goku is either busy being "dead", or recovering from the time he got his ass beat by Vegeta, some Android, or some elementary school kid. There you have it. You can't argue it. Goku is a Wussy-Boy!

ROFL vegeta for the win

"Vegeta beat the hell out of me. I respect that. Let him go." (I may have mis-quoted).
you did misquote
and also your points dont mean gokus a wuss it proves that he has good plans on how to beat his enemies

Goku's not a Wuss =(

EDIT: Now, to make my post more substance full and less spam like, I will go on to say that it did always annoy me that he was always renowned as the worlds strongest fighter, yet ever volumeseason whatever there was a new villian who was always 10000x stronger then anyone else, really annoying.

Since when does Goku get pwned by Nappa? :P

Goku vs Nappa: You sure? Nappa never touched goku and went down with 2 punches.

Goku vs Cpt. Ginyu: Goku won easily, Cpt. ginyu thought he was a super saiyan and exchanged bodies before he got killed.

Goku vs Pikon: Id say goku was stronger when he went SS 2 on pikon.

Freiza vs goku: Talk about bias dude,  lets talk vegeta, he went down with one finger of freizas. Goku beat freiza and became a super saiyan. Freiza destroyed the planet because he thought he would lose, also goku survived and trained in yardrak, and also become much stronger than Trunks was when he beat freiza.

Goku vs Cell: What can you expect? Cell was stonger than every single fighter there(including gohan) if it wasnt for vegetas big bang gohan would have been destroyed.

I never liked Goku, I liked Gohan, until that whole Great Saiyaman crap came around. Actually, I never like DBZ, but my bro forced me to watch it, and that is why I even know what you're talking about. Too bad it's not shown on TV that much (or ever) anymore.

^no actually gohan was stronger then cell remember gohan got injured defending vegeta he would of never got injured if it wasnt for vegeta
