The official Dragon Ball website has given fans of the popular franchise an authoritative answer as to why. Goku is stronger than Vegetaat least according to a university professor.
When it comes to rivalries, Goku and Vegeta have one of the best known in anime and manga. However, they both approach it very differently, and that is what makes Goku a stronger fighter than Vegeta and what will allow him to continually outplay his former enemy.

Vegeta made his debut in Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball chapter 204 and after his first encounters with Goku, he became more of a rival than an enemy.
The two have one of the longest-running rivalries, often training together and competing against each other to be the strongest warrior, as well as fighting together to protect Earth and the Universe from the latest threat.
Their competition is heightened by the fact that Goku and Vegeta are both Saiyans who can reach similar power levels and have similar goals due to their physiology. However, the rivalry is not viewed in the same light by Vegeta and Goku.
On the official Dragon Ball website, Nobuyuki Ota, a professor who studies “competition and rivalry” at Chubu University, analyzed and discussed the relationship between Goku and Vegeta.
According to him, the competition between the two is very one-sided because Vegeta sees Goku as someone specific that he wants to defeat, while Goku’s goal is simply to get stronger, no matter who he’s fighting.
In fact, Professor Ota says: “I think Goku is not the type of person who sees others as his rivals.” This would make sense given Vegeta’s competitive nature.
The fact that Vegeta has never buried the hatchet was recently proven in Dragon Ball Super, when Vegeta went back to acting “evil”, attacking Goku and declaring that his true goal is still to defeat him.
While Vegeta wants to surpass Goku, Goku wants to become stronger by competing with others in a larger sense, although both will continue to get stronger as the Dragon Ball story continues, Goku’s larger goal will always lead him to seek new challengers in a positive way, while Vegeta will obsess over Goku as an equal in a one-sided and highly competitive rivalry.
