That's why he said roughly equal. What Tenshinhan couldn't match in endurance, he could match and surpass in speed.

I wouldn't use roughly though. Goku was clearly superior in strength and Tenshinhan in speed.

If Tenshinhan was over 5 years of training behind a Goku who's far inferior to weighted Goku, I don't see Tenshinhan being able to knock weighted Goku around as easily as he did. You'd think if the gap was that big Goku would tank all of Tenshinhan's hits.

Doesn't that just mean that weighted Goku's 'level' is around equal with Tenshinhan's, so they're evenly matched blow-for-blow, but since Goku's true power is much higher, and he hasn't actually suppressed his ki, he's not taking any real damage?

Tenshinhan and weighted Goku are stated to be a match several times. Kame Sen'nin only brings up the difference in breathing, because Goku has learned to fight without making unnecessary movements, that was part of Kami's training.

Tenshinhan ( 23rd Budokai ) = Weighted Goku's power, which is stated to have surpassed his power from 3 years ago, which was at least equal to Piccolo Daimao Young if not slightly stronger.

It's also stated that Goku's speed has remained the same from 3 years ago. As we can see Tenshinhan is faster than Goku, by a significantly amount.

Goku ( Unweighted ) 300
Goku Weighted's power 225
Tenshinhan ( 23rd Budokai ) 225
Goku Weighted's speed/Goku 3 years ago 200
Piccolo Daimao Young 200

So yes, Tenshinhan ( 23rd Budokai ) is without a doubt stronger and faster than Piccolo Daimao Young.

But he is.

I read the fight again and there's nothing to suggest Tenshinhan gave Goku any real difficulty.

Sure he is way faster but he did absolutely no damage to Goku. I see no problem in having him weaker than Daimao.

@Zombie

I've ever proved that Tenshinhan (23rd Budokai) is stronger than Piccolo Daimao Young.

"Tenshinhan and weighted Goku are stated to be a match several times. Kame Sen'nin only brings up the difference in breathing, because Goku has learned to fight without making unnecessary movements, that was part of Kami's training."

Tenshinhan is indeed stronger than Daimao Young.

So, he's way faster...than this Goku whose speed is at least on par with his Sacred Water self's speed? Which still implies Tenshinhan is way above Sacred Water Goku, right...?

They're only not equal because as ahill1 said, Goku learned from Kami-sama to fight without making unnecessary movements, which is why Tenshinhan is out of breathe and Goku isn't. There's nothing suggesting Goku is in a completely different league than Tenshinhan power-wise.

They generally correlate. The weights were the only reason Goku's speed was out of sync with the rest of his 'stats', right?

The only real instance of them not correlating is the Ginyus, who appeared to be anomalies, and Super Saiyan Grade 3, which was only because of the form, not because of Goku or Trunks.

It doesn't matter. That quote confirms that even if you get stronger it doesn't necessarily mean you will get faster.

You will get faster, it just doesn't necessarily mean that you will be faster than someone who is weaker than you.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
