Before comparing who is faster/stronger/tougher etc., one must first look into the battle with common sense.

1) Having defeated enemies much superior than the DB opponent

An example to that is Guts vs Nightmare; compared to the world Guts lives in, Nightmare brings little to no trouble. Same with the upcoming episode; Metal Sonic is simply inferior compared to the Mavericks Zero had defeated.

2) Having literally no option to kill due to special immunities

Hulk vs Doomsday fits this match-up; Hulk simply had no way to kill Doomsday no matter how physically powerful Hulk has become. Similar to Bowser vs Ganon and Kratos vs Spawn, both Ganon and Spawn were only vulnerable to holy weapons in which Kratos had little and Bowser had none.

3) Completely shutting down opponent in a single move

It's where one move, in which people call "hax", completely turns the tides in one's favor. Mewtwo exploited Shadow's weakness to memory wipe and ended his Super form with Disable. Ganon could also freeze Bowser in his place in an instant and completely dry out his body and soul regardless of how physically tough Bowser was.

4) Specific resistance to a character's main ability

Electric fights fits this mole; outside of electricity, Pikachu and Raiden had little to offer.

5) One stat being way too overpowering that other stats become insignificant

Sonic was so fast that Mario being stronger and more durable(!) didn't help at all! Similar to Tails vs Luigi, intelligence levels of both were complete polar opposites where Luigi was way too dumb to use his gadgets and abilities properly.

7) Elemental weaknesses

I don't specifically remember a DB episode of that other than Pokemon Battle Royale, but Natsu vs Luffy would also fit if it existed.
