He had to be talking about Obito as he never met Madara this is something shown in the Manga. However you are right Obito and Madara were around equals at the time(and this was without Obito having his other eye, being able to manifest Susanoo, and not having EMS). However, a few things. First of all sickness has not been proven to actually negatively inhibit chakra development/reserves unless you can provide proof that I missed. If I did I'll edit this comment. All it means is they are sick/dying. Secondly, where has it been proven that Itachi is definitely faster than Sasuke. I have seen no evidence of this in the manga. Plus taking advantage of someone being occupied doesn't necessarily mean that they are fast enough to beat that same someone when they aren't occupied. Third, only one person has been known to beat MS Madara by himself(and that is the god of shinobi Hashirama), compared to Itachi where there are a few candidates who could(Obito, Pain, Jiraya etc.) If you are going to take the word of Itachi on EMS then lets take his word of Jiraya then that they would both die. Jiraya was killed by Pain. Pain is either on par or slightly below Obito in power, Obito is more or less equal to Madara so one can conclude from all this Madara is more powerful than Itachi. That is another way to go about it anyway.
