Means nothing, Hashirama never allowed Tobirama to fight Madara because he made it clear that Madara was his battle to fight. ONLY Tobirama and Hashirama could fight and tie/defeat him back then because only they were at that kind of level. Hiruzen surpassed Tobirama around the time he became Hokage also Itachi and Nagato are from a different generation altogether. Madara was feared because there wasn't really anybody worth a damn to face him in his life time besides Tobirama and Hashirama and only Hashi was allowed to fight him because of his own rules. Madara is overrated, Itachi underrated, and this thread has no balance in it whatsoever.
