If he was so fast, he wouldn't need to use FTG so much. Just saying. He's the fastest shinobi because of the FTG is more like it. No, Minato blitzes Itachi without him able to react. Even his shunshin was mistaken for FTG for times. Not only that, Minato's reflexes would have to be top notch just to react to A's fastest punch or Eight Gated Guy's speed.

Minato is the fastest shinobi who ever lived until Naruto and Sasuke got Six Paths Chakra. Its canon.
