Vegeta IV is the prince of all Saiyans and one of the greatest warriors in the Dragon Ball. While Goku and Gohan both shot ahead of Vegeta at the end of Dragon Ball Zit did not take long for him to reclaim his place as one of the powerful men who lived in the Dragon Ball Super. The Dragon Ball Super manga makes it very clear that Vegeta is a prodigy born of hard work, whose potential may well exceed Goku's.
Heading into the Black Frieza Saga, Vegeta has officially defeated Goku in a fair fight, has shown enough power to fight the Gohan Beast without resorting to Ultra Ego, and has been training nonstop to kill Frieza once and for all. Vegeta is one of the strongest Saiyans in the Dragon Ball right now, but there's one Saiyan he'll never be able to surpass or beat—and that's the only one Vegeta has never defeated in a fight before.
Vegeta has beaten almost every saiyan in Dragon Ball
Except for Raditz – which Vegeta had one very higher power level than, and would have defeated off-screen by training – Vegeta fought and beat every single Saiyan that appeared in Dragon Ball Z. Vegeta kills Nappa, breaks every bone in Goku's body in the Saiyan Saga, beats Gohan, beats Future Trunks when they train together, and knocks out both Goten and Trunks. Come Dragon Ball SuperVegeta defeats both Cabba and Goku Black. By all accounts, he also has a higher power level than Kale, Caulifla, and Kefla (although he never fights any of them).
IN Dragon Ball Super: BrolyVegeta ends up fighting Broly and actually comes close to killing him – so much so that Goku has to stop the fight so he can have his turn. Unfortunately, Vegeta missed his window to hit Broly. While fighting Goku, Broly utilizes his full power and quickly matches and outclasses Goku & Vegeta's god forms. By the time Broly unlocks Super Saiyan, Goku and Vegeta have been completely outmatched, doubly so when Broly becomes a legendary Super Saiyan. Vegeta is now much stronger than he was before Dragon Ball Super: Broly – largely thanks to Ultra Ego – but Broly is a different level of fighter compared to Vegeta.

Vegeta never defeats Broly
When it comes down to it, there is simply no way that Vegeta will ever be able to defeat Broly. According to Saikyo Jump, Broly has so much natural potential to master True Legendary Super Saiyan i Dragon Ball Super: Broly would have given him the power to actually defeat Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta. From Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103, Broly can officially control the True Legendary Super Saiyan, putting Vegeta at a serious disadvantage.
It doesn't help that Vegeta is slowly reaching the absolute limits of what he's capable of. Vegeta and Broly may be the same age, but the former has been fighting and training his entire life, while the latter is just beginning his martial arts journey. Broly has so much more natural potential than Vegeta that eventually the Prince of All Saiyans won't be able to keep up anymore. If Dragon Ball Super follows Akira Toriyama's original timeline of Dragon ball onlineGoku and Vegeta only have 17 years left before their lives begin to end, and they are past their prime.
Vegeta still hasn't reached his full potential
While the notion of Vegeta ever beating Broly is completely unrealistic, it is painfully clear that the Prince of All Saiyans has yet to reach the full peak of his power. Vegeta just unlocked Ultra Ego, and he hasn't mastered the transformation the way Goku has Perfected Ultra Instinct. Vegeta still needs a bow to perfect his ultimate form. Not only that, Vegeta has reached a point in his power where he doesn't even need Ultra Ego.
IN Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103, Vegeta chooses to use Super Saiyan Blue Evolved to fight Gohan Beast instead of Ultra Ego. Considering that Vegeta does not underestimate his opponents – and that Goku is needed Perfected Ultra Instinct just to keep up with Gohan – this strongly suggests that Vegeta is currently much stronger than he's letting on. Vegeta may not be able to beat True Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, but he is well on his way to surpassing the rest of his fellow Saiyans if he hasn't already.
