We haven't really seen much of prime Hiruzen in action, so it's hard to make an argument siding with him. His "feats" are what is listed in the databook, which claims that he was the strongest Hokage during his prime. I don't see how this is so hard to understand. Elveonora doesn't have anything to back up his claims because prime Hiruzen was never seen in extensive combat, only in his old age.

We've only seen the two of them in one extensive fight each, so it's hard to really say "oh he'll definitely win!" when you don't know everything they have in their arsenal. Hiruzen didn't really display much (compared to the hype he was given in the DBs) in his fight with Oro besides Enma and reaper death seal, whilst Danzo displayed the use of Izanagi, his summon Baku, wood release, and various wind release techniques.

I'll go with a draw.
