Im with Noody at this one. It's apparent that Kishimoto made Hiruzen out to be the strongest Hokage at a time where the Senju didn't play a major role. As you said by yourself, Orochimarus Edo Tensei was indeed perfected, Hashirama fought with the techniques and the power scale Kishimoto awarded him at this time. Hiruzen was known for his mastery of all arts and techniques of Konoha, yet the Senjus were known for their mastery of all arts and one thousand Jutsu. Hashirama, the strongest Senju of all, didn't only was hyped for this, he was also in the possession of the scroll which includes Konohas techniques, too, and possesses on top of that medical skills which are far above Tsunades level and the mot powerful Kekkei Genkai.
Owarij, at some point you should stop this fanboyism. Look on how both were portrayed in part 2 of the series. Hashirama, the most powerful Shinobi no one was able to compare with after his time, a power great enough that everyone in the series is seeking for, whether Madara or Orochimaru. A power which, according to Madara, exceeds those of the five Kage together by far. Madara at his current stage cannot stop riding his dick. Hiruzen however is no one in part 2 of the series, wasn't portrayed for his great strength only one time. Or don't you think that someone, at least one would mention a Shinobi, who had an even greater strength than thi fairy tale strength? No, no one is playing a role when it comes to Hashirama.
In no way am I denying that Hashirama is stronger than hiruzen... his abiltiies are on a severly larger scale... what I am arguing is that despite that fact, hiruzen can still defeat him, mostly due to his knowledge of his abilities and ability to counter them
