Madara was not near his equal, Hashirama literally held back as to not kill him every single time. When Hashirama finally gets serious it is only because he is forced to and that was at the place that would become VotE. Hashirama fought not only Madara but Kurama too and he beat them both. Madara wasn't Hashirama's level in life, he was just close enough to be able to fight him.
