That just means vegeta is more durable no? (which is actually acknowledged iirc) plus goku showed a decent bit of durability too taking shit from oozaru vegeta who could easily have been 10x him during that fight.
Indeed. The Saiyans are crazy durable. In fact, the only ways a Saiyan ever died was either by:
* Goku, Raditz and Vegeta got killed by a piercing Attack through the heart. Even then, the latter two could continue to talk. Piccolo was actually forced to finish off Raditz to shut him off.
* Nappa got blasted by Vegeta's blast...after he was so damaged that he couldn't even get up.
* And obviously, planet busting attacks. If it didn't kill them, then the lack of atmosphere in space certainly did.
As for the battle in the thread, I Wonder. Goku has a slight power advantage, but Vegeta was stated to be more skilled at this point.
