Alot of people always used his Age etc. as reason for him being weakest...same way they would say Tsunade is weakest Hokage because she is a girl or because she didn't show any feats. Tsunade has shown plenty of feats. The reason people consider her the weakest Hokage is because her abilties mostly revolve around taijutsu. She isn't all that fast, but her strength is the threat, and she doesn't necessarily have to touch you, using the ground as a backup. She also has the ability to instanly heal from wounds for an extended amount of time, but the worse the injury, the more chakra she will have to apply to heal the damage. Most of the kages will be too fast for her and/or won't have to get close, which she needs to do. But, the weakest Hokage will go down to Kakashi. At least Tsunade could protect the villagers better than he could.
