The 3rd probably wanted to name a successor a few years before he retired too; go out on top as it were. Plus, as far as ninjas go, a leader needs to be at his/her physical peak as well.
And the 4th was probably in his late 20's early 30's.

I think that the 4th would throw down.
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
I think the 4th was not exceptionally powerfull (compared to other hokages). The reason it was him who defeated the monster fox was because he was the hokage at the time and it was his responsibility. Who ever went up against the kyubi was going to die for sure, and as he was the current hokage, he was the one that had to do it.
The 3rd said that he wanted Orochimaru to become the 4th, but he couldn't choose him. Orochimaru was the strongest but he was just so evil. He doesn't understand the point of being Hokage. Sarutobi chose the 4th because he loved the village (and was still a big time ass beater).
Now, to the topic...
Orochimaru says in the manga quite explicitly that Itach is stronger than he is.
If Itachi is stronger than Orochimaru, and Orochimaru is stronger than the 4th...
I think Itachi would beat the 4th's ass - then the 4th would seal him with his soul seal technique.
They would both die.
4th wins.. no questions about it... and i heard that 4th is the strongest hokage.... i dunno where i heard it form but yea.. and who ever voted for itachi............................................ .................................................. .................................. LMAO
