In Vegeta’s mind at least, and it’s not because Vegeta has an inferiority complex. No spoilers, but that part in Super Hero has got me thinking about this a bit.
In the Boo Saga Goku and Vegeta called a truce, only for Vegeta to punch Goku from behind. Technically he did win, but it wasn’t a fair win. Finding out Goku held back only hurts Vegeta’s pride even more. Goku basically allowed himself to get beaten here.
In the Saiyan Saga Vegeta did break every bone in Goku’s body, and then Gohan and co. took on the rest of the fight for him. But Vegeta spends the rest of the series holding a grudge against Goku, not these small timers. Goku didn’t fight but he coordinated the Z Fighters, having Kuririn use his Genki-Dama and then telling Gohan to to Oozaru. Yajirobe acted all on his own when cutting Vegeta’s tail, but that ended up being for the best since Saiyans don’t need tails anymore. In the end Vegeta’s life was in Goku’s hands, so I think Vegeta considered them even after that battle, which is obviously not enough for him.
So yeah, Vegeta never truly beat Goku and is justified in acting the way he does about their rivalry.
