Here's what we know: in his prime, Hiruzen is said to be the strongest Hokage ever, and the day he became Hokage he was allegedly stronger than Tobirama. And that's it.

Like, we've never seen him do anything that would make us think "yeah he could probably kick Minato or Hashirama's ass", it's only been said to us. In fact, a lot of people like to think that was retconned, when they called Hashirama the "God of Shinobi" (a title previously given to Hiruzen).

All this to say that if this was based on feats only? Then Minato probably takes this, in the long run. But because 'lore', I'd have to go with Hiruzen. Thanks for the tip. I'm kinda new here.
