Minato wins, high difficulty - which is the same thing I've said in the previous discussions regarding this fight. I have to say, it would be an amazing fight to see and it's kind of a shame we haven't at least seen a non-canon variant of it. But everytime such a hypothetical discussion such as this is brought up, it is brigaded by delusional Itachi fanboys who believe stuff like "Itachi can dodge lightning".

I also definitely think Minato lives up to the prodigy aspect of his character better than Itachi. His battle wits actually manifested in combat. He developed an acute sense of perception without the use of a Sharingan, mastered a unique technique such as FTG, invented the Rasengan, learned Sage Mode - he did this all by himself. He didn't have the luxury of a bloodline inheritance which seems to get more OP the shittier your life is like Itachi "hurr durr I could've killed you long ago" Uchiha and his Mangekyo. And in Minato's case, we actually see him use battle tactics to subjugate his enemies, where as in Itachi's case it's either him decimating a weaker enemy or him decimating a stronger enemy via an asspull jutsu that applies to that specific situation.

And to what Lorenzo said, there's no reason to believe that Minato wouldn't be able to warp a Susanoo considering it's made out of chakra, same thing that constitutes a Tailed Beast Ball which he did warp. Also, Minato definitely doesn't have Itachi levels of stamina. His fight against Obito proves that. But I don't expect you to be unbiased about this fight considering how anti-Minato you are.
