Madara fought the 4th raikage and tsunade for the first time and was already able to tell which one of them was faster and which one was stronger. The 4th raikage also observed that minato was faster than him after just one battle. White zetsu knew where minato was so they've probably gotten the chance to see him in action. Well, I don't think shinobi are comparing everything they recently seen/heard to legendary shinobi. Madara could compare directly how Ay moved and how Tsunade moved, because they both came at his Susanoo in a similar fashion. That kind of direct comparison is highly unlikely, impossible when comparing recent third party accounts. Minato and Ay were confirmed to face-off multiple times though, and Ay was confident enough in his first clash with Minato to attack the FTG kunai markers where he thought Minato would pop-out.

After the Third war, when assessing all of the battles and feats would be a more accurate representation of said combatants. Which is why Madara dying in the middle of the third war, kinda excludes the full picture.

Again, my initial point was Madara lived much longer than assumed. So, his statement of Tobirama's speed has a longer time-frame than only his time. Do you understand what I'm saying on this specific point?
