But you're a bit inattentive, the OP notes that Hashi/Tobi/Minato do not have Edo-bodies here.

Technically, he didn't defeat Sasuke, he just avoided all of his attacks via SM sensory perception. And when Madara stabbed Sasuke, he already wasn't blind (with the right Rinnegan) and used his trumpcard technique (Limbo) to caught him by surprise and turn into an easy target.

Well, either way, it's a really hard match, but still I'd give the victory to the Hokage team, since they can overwhelm him by sheere force. Together, they are too much even for him, and with well-coordinated effords and teamwork, they would be able to eventually take him down, although if Madara would go all out with his most powerful abilities he had back then (Wood Release, Susanoo, Gedo Statue, Rinnegan techniques, Metheors etc), it would become a damn hard task for Hokage to pull it out.

You're right about the black rods, but that doesn't change that Tobirama can still use edo tensei. The hokage put up a good fight, but if Minato has kurama, he could beat Madara.
