It's not about who said it... It's about what message was conveyed from Kishi. If Madara was so tough, he could've killed Hashirama and taken his DNA, but he didn't. He faked his death... It was for his own good- which was his life. U_UDoesn't look like stomping to me...

Just the 9 tails alone was too much for hashirama and it was sealed by mito sometime during/in the latter parts of that fight.

Luckily for hashirama, Madara ended up fighting for the DNA and not for the kill.
The Rinnegan itself pretty much solidifies yourself as a God of the Shinobi world, as expressed by everyone's awe and everyone believing it was only a myth. Madara was the ONLY Shinobi to attain it, (Minus Nagato and Obito, since they were Madara's eyes anyways). Being recreated past your prime which was still Hashirama's equal before his death would tell anyone, yes, you've been surpassed.
Yet, he admits that a rinnegan-less shinobi is capable of/can defeat him. Hashirama hasn't been surpassed one bit... Madara has a long ways to go.
