I know you shouldn`t listen to trolls (generally speaking) but reading how he was far stronger than Chiatzu and Yamcha because of ROF made me wonder since I never followed the character in any capacity.
I need to catch up earlier Super to see what the character is about other than being space cop.

Weaker than an adult Saiyan so probably sub-1,000.
We're currently a good... what?
40 years removed from Jaco's manga? The fact that he performed so well against Freeza's army indicates to me that he's gotten a crap ton more powerful. The Jaco from the manga couldn't fight like that.
I seriously doubt he improved all that much. Besides, Freeza's army was said to be pathetic compared to before and back then most of his men could be destroyed by Gohan and Kuririn who were sub-2,000.
So if Raditz is representative of the average saiyan, that would mean most saiyans fit between 1,200 to 1,500, and Jaco seemed absolutely positive that he stood no chance versus just about any full grown saiyan. So it's fair to assume that Jaco was significantly weaker than 1,200, at the time of his own manga.
Could Freeza's army really have weakened so much, that not only does someone significantly weaker than 1,200 surpass them all, but he surpasses them all by such leaps and bounds that he can literally fight hundreds of them at once singlehandedly, and not even break a sweat?
Keep in mind, despite their vast power advantage over every member of the army, the sheer numbers they were facing put some serious sweat on both Kururin and Tenshinhan. I think Kururin actually almost died. Yet when it was all over, Jaco was the only one who outright refused a senzu bean, because he apparently didn't lose any stamina during that battle whatsoever. Even Piccolo and Gohan both took senzu beans.
Now does this indicate Jaco is stronger than everybody? No, he's an eccentric weirdo and also an unknown alien, so maybe some combination of arrogance and stamina being his specialty are what lead to him refusing a senzu bean. But during that battle, I don't see him as any weaker overall than Kururin. There is even a section where the two outright fight back to back, and Jaco is just as fast and effective as Kururin.
