Madara would have won the fight, while Hashirama collapsed from exhaustion, Madara used Izangi, that means without the timer, Madara would have beaten Hashirama had he wanted to. Madara actually was defeated and actually died lol He revived himself with transcription seal: Izanagi. Hashirama is actually stronger than madara. Madara even stated this. Proof of this is he took on a kyuubi with both yin-yang chakra halves in one and an EMS madara.
