Pickle
Pickle was a major antagonist of "Baki: Son of Ogre." He also reappeared in the following Baki Dou manga. He was a primitive humanoid, who lived during the Jurassic era. Due to him being frozen in ice, Pickle managed to survive for 190 million years or so. Tier: 7-C, likely higher, higher with...

Currently on Pickles profile we state that he 'matched' Yujiros power.
This is seemingly a misinterperetation of the scene however, mostly due to there being no official translations of the arc untill now that is.
With the Netflix anime we get an official translation of this scene.
Yujiro states
"That son of a bitch forced me to pull a move on him"
Which implies that Yujiro was forced to resort to a technique to respond to Pickles sheer brute strength.
This also comes up in the Baki vs Pickle fight where the narator states that Pickle was 'forced to use a move' during their exchange of brute strength which is the reason that Hanayama states that Baki 'won' the fight.
The reason this is important was because for along time the fandom believed that the statement was meant to be that Yujiro forced Pickle to make a move in their strenght contest.
To back this scaling up somewhat, when Baki is imagining fighting against Yujiro he is able to seemingly imagine his strength, where when he tries to imagine Pickle is simply unable too.
So TLDR
Pickle/Transformed Pickle > Endorphin amped Baki > Base Yujiro with no amps or techniques and ONLY in pure strength.
This is also baked up in the next arc when Baki is able to force Yujiro to use Daemon back in their fight.
Counterpoints:
Yujiro is basically implied to be vastly stronger then Baki's imagination during their fight.
The way I interperet this is his encounter with Pickle motivated him to become stronger and surpass Pickle by the time him and Baki fought.
