Sure------see the Pali canon online at access to insight.
He debates with students of ascetics who send one of their devotees to
"test" the Buddha by asking him questions their guru thinks will stump the
Buddha.....you can guess the results. He debates with Brahmins about purity
(by birth vs by actions). Read the Questions of Milinda........and much
more.
