To be more exact exact in ever good translation, the lines are more or less the same with Madara telling Tobirama in life they were equals. Madara said only Hashirama could beat him, but news flash Hiruzen was a child when Madara was defeated and died. Hiruzen > Tobirama/Madara. Every manga/databook evidence point at anything about Hiruzen's strength all point to him being the strongest Hokage in his prime. There is NO facts saying or making Hashirama stronger than Prime Hiruzen, current and Edo Hiruzen? sure he is stronger than those but not prime Hiruzen. Now like I said, where are these "facts" you mentioned? I want some chapter and page numbers, from a good source.

And which translations do you refer to oh mighty god of translations? I read the translations that pretty much everyone else reads on mangapanda, mangafox, etc, etc.

All the facts point to the fact that hiruzen WAS to be the strongest but now kishi has changed his mind. Learn to read between the lines. No one should have to spoonfeed you every single detail.
