The point was made quite clear that Goku was exhausted quickly while Hit wasn't tired at all, and that was from a minimal amount of exchanges. Also if you pay attention Goku was only equal at the very beginning. Hit easily gained the upper hand which led to Goku being exhausted. They weren't even close to being equal at that point.
Vegeta wasn't Hit's equal, he was beyond it. The reason why he was beaten so easily is because he wasn't predicting Hit's movements like Goku was. If he had knowledge of time skip ahead of time he'd have put up a better performance than Goku did.
