Well, it quite depends. Skill is brought rather often in Z, and in this case it's zero skill vs very skilled (Dragon Books also call him a skilled fighter btw). It's not a stomping difference, but it's very akin to a bull vs tourero.
It is true that a few battles had skill make a gap far greater (Vegeta VS Dodoria/Base Zarbon), so I can get behind that and why Dabura would consider Gohan trash if not for when pretty big detail, Gohan getting his full Ki and stamina back through the Senzu. Even if not in stomping range, it would seem like a stretch to say Dabura doesn't have a noticeable lead on Gohan to be at the advantage in both potential rounds when there would still at least be some minor affect to his stamina. I'd say it still ought to be a lead on par with 18k Vegeta over KKx2 Goku.
Dabra did have a moment of cautiousness though. When Gohan fires his Kamehameha he actually takes Babidi and ducks out instead trying to swat it away.
The Kamehameha is kept consistent as an amplified attack, even if the amount fluctuates throughout the series. For instance, such a comparatively close event as Gohan VS Cell suggested FP Perfect Cell's Kamehameha wasn't something SS2 Gohan could simply take despite dominating him prior.
Even leaving that aside though, it was launched in a very close distance, by enough that Dabura had to make an instant decision. The difference in speed between tiers seems to vastly lower at this point in the series seeing as how the last major speedblitz feat for a relevant tier was SS2 Gohan snatching the senzu from Cell, so Dabura would still likely struggle to dodge it in such a small timeframe even if having a good lead.
Dabra didn't take SSJ Goku's power seriously and wanted to fight all of them at once, so I don't think it would be a problem. Granted Gohan was stronger than he expected, but it's clear he'd eventually run out of gas and be killed,
It's hard to imagine Gohan quickly losing stamina in SSJ with him having mastered the form, or Dabura having underestimated him when Goku was clearly putting forth his full Ki as a SSJ.
It's almost like the plot implies Gohan wasn't just using his SSJ form...
...
Nah, that can't be...
leaving only a Goku and Vegeta who haven't shown power surpassing Gohan's yet.
Vegeta and Goku's comments made it pretty obvious to all those involved that both were a good deal above Gohan.
It also even seems like Dabra started plotting taking Vegeta's soul from the beginning; he wouldn't have gone out of his way to hear his complaints otherwise.
The framing and his reactions seem to suggest something more along the lines of Vegeta's first comment catching Dabura's interest, then the second outburst confirming Dabura's suspicions. I wouldn't say it suggests he had this plan thought out from the beginning of what we see of the fight.

If you pay attention at :bitch's meter it goes clockwise when Gohan transforms at the Budokai. So SSJ Goku's power isn't even near the limit, it's the oppose: It's on the beginning of the scale.
Lord :bitch's meter was most likely an older model though, given that it had a different design than the one Babidi uses (of which he requested for the biggest meter) and the Daizenshuu entry mentioning the older models can't read that high, not to mention it would make little sense to give the best stock to two disposable lackies expected to only succ a few humans. All this shows is that SS2 Gohan's kili would be significantly above 3k, which is a no-brainer.
