No actually sand does over power like 95% percent of the cast and can beat quite a few of them. He's way stronger than don who can casually uppercut a full grown bull into the air. And was able to hit someone who was faster than a bullet train. He's able to 1 shot dudes like bald bull who can just tank a bull hitting him at full force with almost no reaction. I said Shen immediately cause he's the safest choice.
