he never once stated ever in manga or databook that hashirama was stronger than hiruzen, let alone prime hiruzen. now YOU are the one making things up, there are no facts saying Hashi is stronger than Hiruzen.

Bring me the manga/databook statements that supposedly exist if they do then I will believe you, and no he is not contradicting himself because he never said in manga or databook "Hashirama was the strongest Hokage".

and if you missed the part where Madara praises Tobirama as being his equal in life then you are either blind or reading a very bad translation.
