If Goku was up against someone that strong, he'd go straight to SSJ4. Also, although Superman has more physical strength, durability, and potentially speed, his reflexes actually do not catch up to his speed. He's only fast when he's flying in a straight path to go from destination to destination. He can't avoid surprise attacks from opponents who would be considered significantly slower, such as Doomsday.
