Some websites/YouTube channels claimed Akira Toriyama recently stated Gohan is the strongest Saiyan. This statement would be in the context of Gohan getting a new transformation called Gohan Beast, so it's somewhat believable, though it also could be a false rumor.

Did Akira Toriyama state recently that Gohan is the strongest Saiyan?

One of the plausible references is probably from the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero's movie pamphlet that contains Akira Toriyama's commentary (dated back to May 28, 2022).

A: Gohan is actually stronger than anyone else. But he has not had much of a chance to play an active role in recent years. [...]
