Madara was only slightly more powerful than Izuna when he had EMS, they were equals when he had his MS. Tobirama is slightly more powerful than Izuna. Madara and DB4 said Tobirama was tied with EMS Madara in life. As shown with their edo forms, Wood Release/EMS/Rinnegan Madara and Hashirama are very, very close but Hashirama still by a hairs breadth came out on top and was about to have Madara sealed(until he came back to life therefor becoming much stronger, as happens to any Edo who comes back to life)
