Weakest? I think not. You my friend need to read into it more.
1. He ran a village with a bunch of Uchiha where the second and Danzo felt like they were a threat. He did not care like the first.
2. He was getting ready to fight a tail beast if it was his turn.
3. He got re certified as kage again.
4. He lived longer than most kages at his time.
Well how would you know. It's more likely that he is going give Hiruzen something than not. What makes you think that hype is invalid. Did kishi say anything? I don't think so! Hiruzen is strong! I don't think the 1st and 2nd trained him for nothing. I mean they believed in his strength enough to protect the future shinobi. The manga is not over and neither is Hiruzen. Watch him come back with feats that will make people ride him! It's what happened to Tobirama!
Tobirama not being weaker than a shadow clone of OLD Hiruzen was also speculation 10 months agoSo you're basing all of this on speculation?...
He'll be top ten... I have the faith... No way is Kishi trolling a Hokage this badly.

Read into what more? Tell me then, how would he have dealt with the other Kage had he been faced up against them when by his own words he's under Part 1 Orochimaru?
1. Hiruzen failed to live up to the Nidaime, per his own words.
2. Any of the Hokage would have done that. Take for example Tobirama and Minato taking on Obito right now as well as Hashirama taking on Madara, much bigger threats.
3. Jiraiya didn't want the position. Orochimaru defected. Tsunade was a mess.
4. So because he lived longer than Hashirama, he's stronger than him?
Look at Tsunade. Hiruzen is Top 15 at best, and that's when he was younger.
You underrate Hiruzen too much. Hiruzen admitted being under Orochimaru only because he was old at the time. He knew his stamina, speed and strength had gone done big time. Hiruzen 10 years younger would destroy Orochimaru. Orochimaru admitted it!
Well he was trolling Tobirama for while and giving Hashirama and Minato the spotlight until that 1 chapter Tobirama did something. Now it's Hiruzen's turn.
The databook implies that Hiruzen would have been able to successfully RDS Orochimaru as well as the weakened former Hokage. That's just stating that he would have had the strength to seal Orochimaru away rather than having to settle for his arms.
Tell me, if you're saying that Hiruzen being the strongest Kage at his time of death wasn't false hype, how would he have kept up with one of the few perfect jinchuuriki, the Yondaime Mizukage? Or, how would he have dealt with the speed of the Yondaime Raikage? Better yet, how would he get close to the Yondaime Kazekage? Finally, how would he even touch the Sandaime Tsuchikage? Or deal with his jinton?
It's called patience mate. Like I said the manga is not over and Hiruzen is still around. Kishi will showcase Hiruzen very soon.

The difference between the two is that Hiruzen already stated that he was under Part 1 Orochimaru, so I don't know why you expect him to show anything that will break him into Top 10 when he's still an old man with the same speed and strength.
Because it's Kishi's manga and he does whatever he wants and second: His speed is very good. He arrived with the other 2 Hokage at the same time in the battlefield.
Showcase Hiruzen doing what? The only thing Hiruzen will do is back up his statements putting him under Part 1 Orochimaru.
Look at Tsunade. .
