The problem is that we have never actually seen him in his prime so all we have to go off is what little we have seen and what other characters have said about him and he has been stated to be a god just like Hashrirama was so just going off that alone then that would mean he was at least stronger then Tobirama, not saying Tobirama is bad or anything but he was never known as a god of shinobi like the 1st and 3rd where. I would say the 1st is still the strongest of all 5 Hokages, the 3rd is 2nd, then its debatable who is stronger between the 2nd and 4th because we never really saw much of Tobirama also but he did create tons of jutsus and was probably the best water style user to ever live but Minato had been known to take out hundreds of people himself, knew sage mode, although he did use the jutsu that Tobirama created I would say he was better at it just because he acted quickly and had the better reflexes and Tobirama himself said Minato was better at it then he was, and honestly I feel Minato died before hitting his prime and it felt like when Minato was brought back he kind of took a back seat so we could see how powerful Naruto was.
