"The sandaime, in particular, was a genius nicknamed the 'Professor,' and was called the strongest of all the Hokage".
the Sandaime was the strongest.
Databook 1, Page 117
"???????"?????????????
The "Professor" the strongest Hokage in history.
Databook 1, Page 119
"????""??"??,???????????????????.
"History's Strongest", "Genius", etc., there are many words that describe the Sandaime Hokage.

Konohamaru, descended from Sandaime, who was praised as history’s strongest Hokage.
In terms of being referred to the "most powerful" or "strongest", Kishimoto tends to use "??" (saikyou), which I have bolded in the above quotes.
the Sandaime Hogake still holds the title of "????" = saikyou rekidai = History's strongest
Viz Translation:
"You're the one nicknamed "Professor" because you knew and could perform all existing Konoha jutsu.......please don't disappoint me."

He not only knows but can also use/perform all the jutsu that exist within Konoha. (doesn't mean every jutsu ever created, just the ones that reside in Konoha)
In other words, if you were to add in "counter" that'd be adding a tad bit too much that isn't in there originally.

"To begin with, he can easily use over a thousand techniques and... Eh?"
The Manga Stress that Hiruzen's age was hindering his abilities in his fight with Orochimaru countless times. Its implied that Hiruzen would usually use a Kage Bushin for any type of direct assault, but now he is so handicapped by age that using just 2 Kage Bushin is enough to shorten his lifespan. The manga indicates that Hiruzen Stamina/Chakra Supply is greatly handicapped by age and so is his physical capabilities. Holding Enma in polearm form has now become a daunting task for Hiruzen that strains his body greatly after only a few minutes of battle.DB2 Pg 59
The deciding factor for life and death in the fight between the Sandaime and Orochimaru is ‘age.’ If only the third were 10 years younger, the outcome could have been different.
yawn, like i said weak recognize weak, i never heard anyone else call him god of shinobi, no one outside of orochimaru or iruka ever talks about this god, seems as if only orochimaru and iruka know that he is a god, LOL gtfo with that bs,Hiruzen isn't overrated... Kishi hyped him up to be the the strongest kage....At old age he held his own against 2 kages, and enma commented his performance was horrible compared to his prime

"Prime" Hiruzen was Stated to be the Strongest

"Prime" Hiruzen is stated to be the Strongest Hokage in the Manga, twice in the first "Naruto Hiden Rin no Sho Character Official Data Book", and in the Second "Naruto Hiden Rin no Sho Character Official Data Book". He also holds the title "God of Shinobi" which has its own implications about his strength vs the other Hokage.
Hiruzen is a Master of an Immeasurable Amount of Jutsu

Orochimaru states that Hiruzen earned the title of "Professor" because at the the time he gained this title he knew of all the Jutsu that existed in the Leaf Village and could use them all proficiently. Ebisu also states that Hiruzen has mastered over 1,000 Jutsu. Even if you believe this to be a hyperbola, it still shows that Hiruzen has mastered a huge repertoire of Jutsu, possibly more than anyone else in the entire Manga.

Finally the Author himself mentions in the second "Naruto Hiden Rin no Sho Character Official Data Book" that Orochimaru would have been killed by Hiruzen, if Hiruzen was only 10 years younger.
Old Hiruzen Was the Strongest of the 5 Kages
Scanlation of The Official Viz Release:
You must be registered for see images
Even when Hiruzen was Old and Handicapped by Age, Kabuto indicates that Hiruzen was still considered the strongest of the 5 Kages. Considering "A" and "Onoki" two very powerful Shinobi as we have seen in recent chapters were Kages at the time, this is very high praise.
One can also see why he would be considered the strongest, in the fact that he nearly defeated Orochimaru who had prep-time and knowledge going into the fight and the fact that he was able to seamlessly counter all the jutsu that Orochimaru, Tobirama, and Hashirama threw at him.
Conclusion
I believe that we should take the Authors words for it that "Prime" Hiruzen was the strongest Hokage until shown otherwise. This is not to say the other Hokage couldn't give him a run for his money, but he is ultimately indicated to be stronger than them.
