Between Goku's 22nd power and Post Tambourine beat down power. About equal to Mutaito, maybe slightly stronger.:

Goku (Post Tambourine beat down): 100

Piccolo Daimao (Initial): 98

Yajirobe: 92

Mutaito: 90

Young Roshi: 85

22nd Goku: 80

22nd Tenshinhan: 77

Tambourine: 75

What's your reasoning for such? I'd also like the reasoning, not only the placement if possible.

Goku said Yajirobe was the most resilient person he's fought, and while resilience doesn't necessarily mean strength, most of the time in DB strength and resilience correlate, so Yaji is at least stronger than Ten.

Their fight was also quite even. More so, then even Goku vs Ten seemed at certain points.

Shouldn't Goku say "strongest" then, were Yajirobe the strongest he has ever met?

The fight was pretty short, actually. It consisted basically of Goku attacking Yajirobe, both their arms clashing, Goku defending himself from Yajirobe's hits, getting headbutted, whining a bit and then headbutting Yajirobe back, who faked being hurt and tried to kick Goku, who dodged, punched Yajirobe in the face and kicked him in the rocks, who came out basically unharmed. It wasn't a back and forth fight with both exchanging punches evenly. Maybe the anime added something else that I can't possibly remember without consulting it.

Stronger than Tenshinhan given how he matched Goku, but weaker than Initial Daimao given hos surprised he was when Goku knocked him down.

Stronger than Tenshinhan by a small margin, but not close to this Goku. Yajirobe wanted nothing to do with Goku after he saw him smash Tambourine.

That probably had to do more with Goku's merciless rage rather than overall power. After all, Goku initially fought Yajirobe was one of Tambourine's allies, so he had no reason to hold back during their battle.

Probably slightly above Tenshithands based on what I expanded on in the previous post. I say it's more than likely for Goku to have gained a boost in power when Kuririn's statement in the Vegeta VS Zarbon fight is obviously retroactively pointing to Zenkais having been a thing for Goku in Part 1 and even if viewing it in a time bubble, his gains from Muscle Tower support him getting significantly stronger after a tough fight or near death survival.
