Actually he did hence why Madara dropped a 2nd on his face and Gaara didn't help on that so what are you referring to?

No he didn't, the Kyubi used 2 Bijuudama and both were stopped by Yondaime, not Sarutobi. He was also never said to be a chakra monster althought this matter little considering everybody has virtually infinite chakra capacity nowadays.
Incidentally Sarutobi wasn't
that old during the Kyubi attack, he was about the same age than Jiraiya when he died.

So, he had to be able to compete against Oonoki and third Raikage and the 3rd Mizukage not to mention Hanzou, even if we have no idea how he could have competed against such monstrous figures.

Does he? He could just ignore the subject or quickly evacuate it with a mere comment from the Gokage that Sarutobi used to be the strongest among them instead of showing some monkey glory. I'm all for Sarutobi finally getting some love but if the past taught me something it's that we're more likely to have Hashirama and Tobirama fangasm about Yondaime's skill, wisdom and golden hair.

At the time it was pretty sweet, I prefer the human sized fight rather than the gigantic pokemon onslaught. It's just that in retrospect the fight looks very low level compared to the current power standard.
