The 3rd was said in the manga to be the strongest of all of the Hokages. He became Hokage when he was very young. He was also given the nickname, "The Professor", because supposedly he was a master of almost every jutsu. And most importantly, he had the "will of fire" where he would do anything and everything in his power to protect the people of Konoha.
not the strongest of all the hokages! he was the strongest of the all kages and dont forget there was 4th even 3rd was alive and lil bit young 4th was the strongest in konoha when the 3rd was still kicking
