its not like yamato can control the bijou with his mokuton abilities. he can suppress them to an extent, but its far short of what hashirama, tobi, and madara are doing/have done. it was also eluded that danzo took hashirama's cells to be able to control them himself, but we saw just how difficult it is to wield that kind of power. most likely he couldn't do it yet or ever, so he was holding off.

Except that's not what he was saying. He was saying that Hashirama is stronger than Hiruzen because he can defeat the Tailed Beasts (by way of Mokuton), whereas Hiruzen was unable to do a thing against the Kyuubi. Whether Hashirama is stronger than Hiruzen or not, their respective abilities to handle Tailed Beasts isn't an accurate measuring stick
To use a similar example, Naruto was able to handle Preta Path easily thanks to Sage Mode. Does that automatically make him stronger than anybody who can't also handle Pain's Preta Path (such as Kakashi, who would be screwed against an opponent that can block all of his Ninjutsu)?
