DB4 says he surpassed Tobirama at a young age.. Hiruzen's time was also not even 10 years after Hashirama died so it Hashi's power was not a fairytale at that time. Hiruzen was 24-25 when he became Hokage in actuality.. because he was 24 when he became the Sannin's Sensei and AFTER that Tobirama died and Hiruzen became Hokage(beard thing holds no ground because he could have easily shaven around the time Tobirama died and then grew it back after he became Hokage) and Hashirama died only 2 years before that. Hiruzen was called the strongest Hokage, something that Hashirama was never called. So in reality I give Hiruzen a tie with Hashirama at the least.
