Oh make no mistake, a 100% Gran who knows how to use his new power effectively would beat manga pui Goku. Way I see it is PUI Goku has more offense game than UE Vegeta but is a bit of a glass Cannon while the accuracy of the form decreases. UE Vegeta is a goddamn tank, but the form makes him even more cocky than usual.
And you're right, Gas wish was off panel while Grans wish was to be the strongest warrior in the universe, I got confused between than and the oracle fish talking about the strongest mortal. I still don't see either of them touching Jiren or Beerus though.
And I've read that apparently the movies are also canon to the manga? With the events the the BoG and FnF movies being combined with their manga counterparts. So it's kind of weird. I remember seeing an FnF movie scene being referenced in the manga, but it's been a while so I don't remember.

Eh, it's a case of the primary canon influencing the secondary canon, but not the other way. While events of the anime will play out in the manga adaptation, the same isn't the case for the anime. Toriyama and Akio Iyoku (the head of the Dragon Ball Room) have established that the Super anime and manga exist as completely separate continuities; Toyotaro even recently tweeted the manga would continue being its own thing after the SH movie. It's why Super Hero completely ignores Toyotaro's Galactic Prisoner and Granolah arcs, with the movie even stating that the last major fight was with Broly, which was a couple of years ago in the anime timeline (while in the manga, Goku mentions his battle with Broly to Merus, with that battle being a few weeks ago).

I explained above already. There is nothing to suggest Moro reached the same level as Beerus when Beerus was about to intervene and kill Moro had Goku and Co hadn't taken care of it, with both Whis and Beerus confident Beerus would have put a stop to Moro. While Jiren was presented and stated as being stronger than a G.o.D. Goku and Vegeta(in the manga) aren't on the same level as Beerus yet, so there isn't really any indication Gas and Gran are remotely close to their level yet when their only stronger than two guys who are also weaker than Beerus and Whis.
Cell Max just seem stronger than SSB, and maybe SSBE/SSBKKx20. Not much else.
You can just read them on-line :-)
The arcs aren't functionally different, they are just portrayed somewhat differently. ToP still has Vegeta against Toppo, Goku going UI and MUI, Goku and Frieza knocking Jiren off, 17 being the last man standing, etc. Future Trunks still has VB, has SOH Trunks, the Zamasu twins, and Zeno. There are just some differences in the portrayals of the individual conflicts. And of course they drag it out less.

Before anyone posts links to their favorite scan sites, I'd like to put up a reminder that doing so is against some rule somewhere on CBR. Ie, don't do so in a public thread.

First of all, I had actually managed to avoid most spoilers about the Super Hero movie, so seeing the surprise antagonist casually mentioned in a thread that initially didn't even include the surprise antagonist is just a wee bit really annoying.
Yes there is.
In the arcs that are in both the manga and anime, the antagonists are generally less powerful by presentation. Which by extension kinda means that the heroes aren't as impressive when defeating them.
For example:
- Goku only uses SSB against Hit and never brings out Kaio-ken to keep up with the Time-stops. In the manga Vegeta also gets an explanation for why he lost to Hit (activating SSB apparently drains tons of stamina and Vegeta had done so twice at this point). In the anime Hit just flat out kicks his ass and Vegeta gets no saving grace. Magetta also puts up way less of a fight against Vegeta in the manga.
- The manga versions of Goku Black and Zamasu are just kinda sad and pathetic powerwise compared to their anime incarnations as they get beat up way more in the manga. Fused Zamasu doesn't fair much better. In the anime he's doing a fairly good job of trading blows with Vegito, while in the manga he's kinda humiliated. And when the Vegito fusion wears off Goku is able to attain some more controlled state of SSB and fights Fused Zamasu evenly
- Manga Kefla fights Gohan to a standstill, which is just not as impressive as her battle against Goku in the anime. Toppo doesn't get to power up to his G.o.D. mode. Goku uses SSJ3 instead of SSB to test 17 (which misses the entire point of using the well-controlled SSB over the mega-draining SSJ3 for testing purposes). Jiren fares better in that he actually beats UI Goku, but there's not as many universe shaking moments as in the anime.
So generally the characters just aren't as impressive in the manga continuity as they are in the anime continuity.
And the level of Moro's power vary great depending on which point in the arc we're talking about. At one point Majin Buu could kick his ass since he was immune to his power draining.
