Kisame is probably one of the most underrated shinobi in Naruto, at full strength he is most likely just shy of Itachi's level. Against Tobirama would be difficult as they are both specializing in water jutsu, but I think Kisame has the one up here. Of the two of them, Kisame can actually breath underwater, is faster underwater and uses it as a method of sensing. Basically using water against Kisame is out of the question. Tobirama is without a doubt faster than Kisame and will obviously spam FTG and be able to injure Kisame. As I recall Kisame can regenerate from injuries and simply continue fighting, last time I checked Tobirama couldn't heal himself.
