Tobirama wins this,then. And It's not like Tobirama was THAT far behind his older brother, that he couldn't have even possibly won against Madara.

Tobirama was confident with jumping into Hand-to-hand combat against a Madara who had just slaughtered his elder brother in hand to hand and had grown even stronger from it. Not to mention, when Tobirama was ineffective with his attack, Madara commented that Tobirama wasn't even at full power since he was dead, implying that Tobirama's blitz attack actually would have been effective regularly if both of them had been alive.

And finally Tobirama has the element advantage, water beating out fire.Because in the Narutoverse, Chakra is only as effective as your ability to use it. This can clearly be seen with Naruto. Sure, Madara has an abnormal amount of chakra, but besides his eye ability and his later acquired wood release skills, Madara's only revealed chakra expenditure is fire release, which is countered neatly by Tobirama's title as a legendary user of the water release.

And sure Madara has more power, but Tobirama has way more variety. He invented almost all of the noteworthy ninja techniques in the show and could use them so well that he could remain relevant even against Juubito, who was stronger than Madara and Hashirama put together. Ms Madara is as strong as Izuna. So considering Tobirama defeated Izuna, the same result should play out here. Tobirama wins this.
