That's kind of odd considering Madara came at Hashirama with the Kyuubi (full power) and Hashirama was not shown as having any Bijuu with him.
It was an unfair match-up, in favor of Madara.
It just happens that Hashirama had stronger Bijuu control than Madara's cheat eyes.
Also, it is a straight up fight and Madara lost, big time. A ninja fight is using everything and anything to win. It didn't even start out as a one on one since Madara was cheating.
The Kyuubi's presence and using it for victory are no different than using a certain fighting style to counter another person's fighting style....or using a technique/move that disarms someone's kunai from them.
I think it's unfair to down play Hashirama like you are doing. How dare you. THE SENJU FIRE BURNS FROM WITHINNNN!KLNLKSFD L:KJ!:LKJ!!!!!
Anyway, Minato did win in a straigh up fight, but it was only a weakened form of Mads.
Hashirama has the better feat and I honestly don't think anyone has a better feat: defeating a fully powered Kyuubi from a fully powered Madara.
No one, and I mean no one, can claim a better feat besides the Great Sage beating down the 10tails.
