Minato being faster than hashirama doesn't mean anything because speed doesn't stand on its own. Minato is faster than Madara with his running speed and his FTG. So what? HE can dodge almost any attack Madara throws at him in theory. He can also control the distance against Madara too. So I acknowledge the speed difference. But he can't do anything back to Madara. Madara outclasses him in taijutsu. Madara has sufficient stamina. He fought with HASHIRAMA for 24 hours. He gave SAGE MODE Hashirama a high difficulty fight, even after Hashirama suppressed the nine tails. HAshirama had to sit down and take a rest after defeating Madara. Minato can FTG around all day if he wants but he will run out of chakra eventually. So he isn't winning a battle of stamina. Madara's durability mostly comes from susanoo which as far I know, Minato can't do anything against other than teleport it away, upon which Madara deforms and reforms his susanoo

Madara also has landscape changing attacks.

Madara outclasses him in overall battle experience and has awareness on Minato's fighting style- the Flying Thunder God. Madara was a combat prodigy, and has sharpened his skills by fighting the GOD of Shinobi. While in his first life he didn't surpass Hashirama, he has high levels of quality experience just from surviving clashes with him.
