Personally, I don't think so. But, I will agree that Sakura surpassing Tsunade is 'questionable'. I say this because of Sakura's performance through out the entire series, and her part in the War. However, Tsunade is simply more advanced in 'everything' she does. I'm taking into account not just her monstrous strength, Medical Ninjutsu and the activation of her Byakugō, but also her intellectual abilities to think and preform as a Hokage, excellent and analytically correct in her judgement, historically known, and most of all, her Will of Fire.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I don't see much in the way of proof that Sakura surpassed Tsunade, apart from being a shade more skillful in a few techniques. I recall Jiraiya saying something to the effect that Tsunade was among the most valuable (or did he say THE most valuable?) shinobi on the Third Shinobi World War. Sakura had her uses in the Fourth Shinobi World War, certainly, but I don't believe anyone would comment on her in the same way Jiraiya did Tsunade.
