Goku was the one who made it clear that Gohan had improved dramatically in such a short time. The fact of the matter is that Gohan was far more proficient with the Z Sword than Goku was in equal forms, which is a pretty clear indicator of where Gohan stood.
Far stronger than Goku sure, I'm not against that.Well the point should still stand. If Gohan is visibly far ahead of Goku in base, it’s easy to tell that he would also be far stronger as a SSJ2.
