Just to correct some points here:

-Tobirama teleported to half-sized Kuramas (remember, Minato halved Kurama's size when he split them). Plus, he was an Edo Tensei when he did it, so he doesn't usually have to worry about chakra taxation.

-Tobirama isn't better than Minato at FTG. As I recall, Tobirama admitted Minato's skill and use of it surpassed his own at some point during their battle with Obito.

-Hiruzen was stated to be the strongest Hokage in the databooks too, not just by Iruka.

-Tsunade stronger than Minato? Are you guys crazy? How? Tsunade could barely handle Kabuto in part 1 (granted Kabuto had used a soldier pill, but still she was a Sannin).

Now, I do think Minato has been poorly represented, mostly at the expense of giving Tobirama more rep and bolstering Naruto. Remeber, pre-reincarnation Tobirama was the least talked about Hokage, because we knew jack-shit about him. And Kishi's method for hyping him up was rather hasty, ranging from randomly "Tobirama created these techniques dawg" to all of a sudden Minato knows Sage Mode but he doesn't do the obvious and combine it with KCM to lay the smack down on Obito? And then he looses both arms and becomes practically useless. Thanks Kishi. Only the 3rd has been given a bigger shaft. :P
