1. Pitou was wrong. What's the strongest thing Pitou knows? The King before he fought Netero. That's pretty much "God" for her, if you will. And Knov said something about this: When we encounter the unknown, we lose perspective. Throughout the whole ordeal with Gon, Pitou was powerless. Gon had control over the situation for 90% of the time they spent together. To her, Gon is the strongest enemy out there, when in reality if Gon fought anyone other than Pitou he would have died pretty quickly.

2. If Netero was still alive, no way. We saw Gon outspeed Pitou, who is no doubt weaker than the King. The King could only just see Netero's movements, so we can assume from this Pitou could not and thus Gon could not. Netero is by all means and purposes, the strongest human Nen user. Maybe he's wasted his ability by focusing on something so flawed, who, apart from the King, could withstand hundreds of thousands of hits to find the moment when Netero's bias came through? And who else could figure out his bias in such a short time?

3. It's hard to judge, since Gon is only strong against Pitou, and no one else. Fighting them as a group, Gon would never stand a chance. Not many do. One-on-one with the Troupe though, assuming Gon doesn't get tried in between or the battles don't affect each other, I think Gon would lose to the majority of the Troup. I mean, Uvogin can take bazookas with zero damage. Who else do we know is at that level of power?! Gon could probably beat Kortopi and Shizuku though, lol.

4. No, because that was a one-off thing. In his mature state though, probably not. Ging is far more experienced and is one of the top 5 Nen users. Ging alone is stronger than most of the Zodiacs.

5. I think he would be less powerful. I always thought his mature state was what would have happened if Gon trained for x years with the goal to defeat Pitou. Training with a goal like that is different from training to get stronger. And anyway, I don't think any amount of training will let Gon reach that level of strength again, since the sacrifice he had to make to reach it is crazy.

Saying all that, Gon is only one we've seen giving up everything to fight one opponent. Kurapika gave his all to fight 13 people. That's all we have in comparison. Gon's powerup is soo conditional yet sooo strong.
