I find it kind of impossible to imagine anyone is an equal to Madara...except Sasuke after some BS Six Paths upgrades and that waste of space Kaguya. I think the only one who is legitimately shown to be an equal and stronger than him is Hashirama. I don't think Kishi really put in enough thought into Izuna as a character to really decide if he's Madara's equal as he was kind of just a bland, stereotypical uchiha who looked like Sasuke and had Mangekyo. His only real contribution is his impact on Madara and his eyes which Madara would later evolve to Rinnegan.
