Who wins? Does it hinge on the binding power of Chazou's telekinesis? Also whether Goku got a zenkai from his first fight with Tambo (he'd just fought Tien, then fell from the sky vs Tambo).

Assume they've heard about Tambo from the announcer.

Even if Goku got a Zenkai he was still much stronger than Tambo at the tournament.

Chapter: 136, P4.3
Context: said after Tambourine beats up on hungry Goku
Tambourine: “Hahhahhah! This is what they’d call ‘not even worth mentioning’.”
Goku: “Shut up! If I could just eat and get a full stomach, then the likes of you…the likes of you…!”


Ten doesn't need Chaozu's paralysis to take this.

That's just Goku's opinion - possibly an overconfident one. He also thought he could beat King Piccolo when they fought and Tao. Then when he met Kami he attacked him thinking it was King Piccolo, so again he believed he could beat King Piccolo in a fight, when we know he clearly couldn't.

Goku never said he was stronger than King Piccolo (before he drunk the divine water) or Tao. He wanted to fight them because he was pissed off that they killed his friends. Tambourine killed Kuririn but Goku's statement makes it clear he could have easily beat him if he wasn't exhausted from the tournament.

I think Tien can no diff here if he’s going all out, Chaozu makes it easier.

I can imagine Tambourine being any where from 22nd Roshi~22nd Roshi(unseen FP) level.

Tbh I don't see Goku (vs Tambourine) as different from Goku (vs Tenshinhan)... Goku ate that fish, punched the rock and said "that's nice!" or something like this... There was no hint of a power increase there. We don't know if Goku were receiving power boost from near death experiences — Kuririn said that in the Freeza saga, but Kuririn wasn't around at anytime when Goku got those big boosts... Yeah, he noticed Goku was even stronger than in the 21st Budokai when Goku was fighting General Blue, but Goku had also been in many battles until that point... Which to me counts as a way of training. The very significant boosts came from training with Karin, then when drinking the mysterious water, etc... Kuririn was only around, when Goku got stronger, when both of them trained together. Kuririn may have been rationalizing the instances Goku got a boost that he had no explanation for. I think that, unless noticed, Goku's strength didn't change. Goku could have said upon recovering his strength that he feels even stronger, but he did not.

So since Goku vs Tambourine was pretty one sided, while Goku vs Tenshinhan was a close battle, with Goku having a slight superiority, to me Tenshinhan defeated Tambourine with no problems. He'd likely have a harder time than Goku, but it wouldn't be too difficult, though. Let's say he'd need to be serious and using full power to defeat Tambourine, maybe Tambourine could land a shot or two, but he'd more than likely defeat Tambourine without needing anything extreme like the Kikoho imo.

I don't see how it makes it clear. It can just be his angry, emotional opinion, from a fight that had barely got started (literally one kick). It's the same as attacking Tao and KP. If he'd attacked KP or Tao while hungry and been slapped back he would've blamed it on being hungry. It's not like Goku could sense power levels. He'd never say "I can't beat you", until he had the ability to sense power levels.
