Um, comparing Hiruzen as an old man to a current Naruto after power inflation and all the retcons isn't proving anything. And, yes he did fight against the Kyuubi. Right upon sensing it's chakra he was suited up and ready to go before he could even be warned by anbu. He essentially did the same thing Minato did: summon his contract beast and engage. I don't think he could be as effective as Minato (he was a retired old man after all), yet Minato didn't have many options either. Hiruzen would have probably ended up using the death seal just as Minato did, which we know he is capable of using.
