Well, I'm talking about all the Saibamen as a whole.
Even if he was stronger than one individually, if they were all close to his level, then taking all of them on at once would have likely been a poor idea.
It's not something that comes up very much because whenever multiple fighters take on one dude, the gap in power is so wide that there's essentially no difference between fighting as a team and fighting one on one.
One Strip! One Strip!And it was shown that he struggled in the 1 v 1 l, very doubtful he could take two at a time let alone the whole group.
...oh wow. I think we finally have something of a number for how small a Power Level gap can be.
There's only a difference of 280 between Yamcha and the Saibamen as a whole.
Piccolo and Nappa had a difference of 500 (3500 vs 4000).
As another example, Goku was 334 with weights, and 416 without them, compared to Piccolo's 322 with weights and 408 without them during Raditiz. Considering how closely matched they were in their fight at the 23 Budokai 5 years earlier, we can assume the gap was similarly small back then.
So we have to consider that anything higher than 500 is a massive insurmountable gap in terms of Power Levels. That's the bare minimum, cause that's the smallest gap we have where the other dude is totally out of his league.
One Strip! One Strip!The entire team is moving on from abridged series and entering the professional world. That's also why hbi2k left, he wanted to keep making them while the other were going to move on.
Around here, we call it Hyper-Tonic.
Don't forget that.
Getting serious, OG BOG aside I don't think Dragonball lends itself well to continuations.
Goku and company literally MDK'ed every single threat, and any attempts to fight with anything but a high Power Level fails miserably. Now, Cell and Buu showed us you can have other things in your favour (like ridiculous levels of regeneration) and before the the Androids had their Infinite Energy, but even then, those were only a factor due to high power levels. The series had to introduce an entire new stable of Gods after dropping the ball with the Kaioshins in order to create new threats, and then introduced a a multiverse in order to create new challenges.
Right now, it's taken the new villain from the current manga arc of Super to introduce something some is a threat to the heroes beyond higher power level and he's just using the Android's schtick to a far greater extent.
Maybe we all should have just accepted that the series had it's time and we needed to let it go, cause Toei and Toriyama definitely need to do that.

One Strip! One Strip!
Toriyama wanted to quit before anybody else did. He only returned to the franchise because he was so disappointed with Dragonball Evolution.

If Yamcha was considerably weaker than the Saibamen, then he wouldn't have been able to knock out the one he fought, even if it got back up a minute later.
