I had a debate like that with someone on Swagkage's channel comment section lmao. I agree with either side winning, EMS Madara is no joke, but the same is for Nagato. I hate when people say "Madara stomps" without saying how or why.

I reckon Nagato would perform really well though, he could Bansho Tenin Susanoo to one side, and then Madara towards him, and then rip out his soul. And given the Susanoo is made of chakra, Nagato should be able to absorb it in contact.

The only reason that I think Nagato didn't absorb the Susanoo attack from Itachi in edo is because Itachi struck his Asura extended metal arms, and I'm not sure if he can extend his arms and use Preta Path, because he would have done so whilst Bee was restrained.
