I take it this is Hiruzen as we saw him? In any case, he possesses some underwhelming feats and i'd back Tsunade for the win in this particular circumstance. I'm aware of Sarutobi's hype in relation to the other Kage of his generation, but this doesn't necessarily tell us how well he compares with his former student. I don't know how long the old man can be expected to outmanoeuvre her (though you haven't mentioned knwoledge, midset or location, which isn't helpful), but he will eventually tire and succumb to fatigue. Offensively, he hasn't the Jutsu to overcome her Byakugō and it remains to be seen how useful Enma would be in trying to nullify the effects of her monstrous strength. Tsunade takes it unless Hiruzen can salvage a draw via Shiki Fūjin.
By hype he was called God of Shinobi during his times and Orochimaru and Enma stated Hiruzen would have destroyed Oro in his prime. Seeing as how Hiruzen was trained by Hashirama and Tobirama Senju and was chosen as Hokage at a very young age, coupled with his knowledge of Tsunade and his hype, he should beat her.
Also, databook puts Old Hiruzen at 34, lacking speed, strength, stamina ( 3/5, the rest being 5/5 ) which are all age-relying stats.
Hype is always valid until proven wrong. But let's not get into that. We're talking Tsunade and Hiruzen, not Hiruzen and... Never mind.> Post talks about Hiruzen as we saw him
> Mentions Prime Hiruzen
As i've said, i'm well aware of the hype Hiruzen was given (both the valid and the invalid) but i'm simply comparing feats between the two.

Anyway, I agree with your first post although I'm sure Hiruzen would be able to get her under RDS.

By hype Hiruzen wins.
By feats Tsunade stomps.
Tsunade low-diff. Hiruzen lacks the fire power to do serious damage or the stamina to keep up, he literally doesn't stand a chance.
With Katsuyu and Byakugou restricted it would be at least more even.
Come on now, that old man was a KAGE. Don't underrate him.
Tsunade wins, but definitely not that easily.
