Probably the biggest argument about the OG manga.
I think it's logical to conclude Buff Boo is stronger than Pure Boo. The increased muscle mass would suggest a power-up and every other person Boo absorbed made him stronger with the exception of Grand Kaioh-shin; it was never said South Kaioh-shin made him weaker. His bulk probably made him slower, too, but the main reason Buff Boo isn't considered the most dangerous is because he wasn't as evil due to having absorbed South Kaioh-shin. Pure Boo is considered the evilest because he's pure, raw evil; Buff Boo had somebody else part of him, which reduced his evilness, albeit not to the point Bibbidi could control him. Although it's not explicitly said that South Kaioh-shin had any effect on Boo's personality, we already saw when Super Boo absorbed Piccolo that absorbing people affects Boo's personality. Just as he took in Piccolo's IQ, there's no reason he wouldn't have taken in South Kaioh-shin's IQ. In other words, Boo became sentient when he absorbed South Kaioh-shin and that made him less evil. Pure Boo was basically a wild animal and that made him the most dangerous Boo.
When Boo absorbed Grand Kaioh-shin and turned Fat, he became weaker. Then, when Fat Boo snapped and released all of his evil, it created Gray Boo, which was a corrupted version of Pure Boo. Gray Boo ate Fat Boo and turned into Super Boo. Gokuu admits to being weaker than Super Boo, but he thinks he has a shot against Pure Boo, which would suggest Super is stronger than Pure. Super Boo was established as being weaker than Buff Boo, so if Pure Boo is weaker than Super, he's weaker than Buff by extension. However, it's not explicitly said that Pure Boo was weaker than Buff Boo. Gokuu and Vegeeta merely assumed he was weaker because he was smaller. You'd think it'd explicitly be said if that were the case.
Actually, come to think of it, Boo's muscle mass increasing when he absorbed South Kaioh-shin isn't even necessarily an indicator of his power increasing, because all it means is that he took the physical attributes of South Kaioh-shin. Nothing suggests Buff Boo was stronger or weaker than Pure Boo, so it could be that they were the same strength, but Buff Boo wasn't as dangerous due to the sentience gained from South Kaioh-shin. But then again, there's no reason why absorbing South Kaioh-shin wouldn't have powered Boo up. We'll never know the answer.
