I think shin may have chance against base momoshiki. Momo's taijutsu was strong enough to match Naruto and Sasuke. In hybrid mode, he tanked their combined attacks.

Against Shin, Naruto and Sasuke used a fraction of their power. There were kids present, so it's not like they could casually nuke the forest with basic jutsu. It also seems they wanted to capture shin, since neither really uses powerful attacks to stop him. Against the clones, Naruto simply uses Kurama to intimidate them and then grants them refuge. Using kid gloves is why Shin gave them any trouble at all, yet if Naruto or Sasuke want to capture someone, they can't use half their signature techniques. No Rasenshuriken (instant kill), no Mangekyou powers (Sasuke's eye was recharging), no Chidori.

Even though Shin surprised Sasuke and naruto with his blade, it still did 0 damage on Naruto. They should've respected his Mangekyou but didn't, although in the end it mattered little.
