When he said about the Future Androids, "When I fought them, I could put up a good fight," was he referring to the time we saw in the TV Special, or another time that took place after he gave the medicine to Goku and returned to his future?
In the special, he did.After he gave Goku the medicine. He did not put up a good fight against them in the special.
In the special, it was shown when Trunks fought the Androids alone, and he didn't do bad.Gohan was the one, not Trunks.
I don't remember him being able to do anything at-all. Outside of if you mean when he tried to help Gohan, but it was shown #18 wasn't taking the fight serious I think. 3 years later he lost, not even a contest. They tanked his blasts.In the special, it was shown when Trunks fought the Androids alone, and he didn't do bad.
But before they tanked his blasts, he put up a good fight.I don't remember him being able to do anything at-all. Outside of if you mean when he tried to help Gohan, but it was shown #18 wasn't taking the fight serious I think. 3 years later he lost, not even a contest. They tanked his blasts.
Don't remember at-all, but if they tanked later they weren't trying in the first place which would nullify the point of Trunks' statement (that he could put-up a good fight).
