I think people do that because we still believe kisame died back when he was beheaded by bee and A because this was the last time we saw him really fighting. The other time he was just running away and we respect kisame enough not to base his strength on this. And your Hiruzen is exactly what Im saying people don't put him in top 10's because before he died he was old.Unfortunately, you are wrong. People do not do top 10's or un-handicapped versus threads based on now or right before someone dies (Or at least, they SHOULD not). For example. Kisame died without Samehada. In that fight, he never had Samehada. But he is always counted with it. And Hiruzen died an old man. But the only reason I don't see him included in top 10s and so on is because we haven't seen him battle in his prime, not because he's old. Just saying.
Edit: And that was his current strength. So in a top 10 with kabuto's current strength most of his edo's are sealed
