Yeah, Killer Bee established Minato as the goat. Killer bee has good reactions no doubt but it doesn't mean he can keep with minato's speed and CQC speed/skill amped by FTG in a sustained/serious battle.

Nagato can beat Minato assuming Nagato is shrewd enough to keep on his Preta Path Barrier (assuming Preta Path can nullify FTG in the first place and can be turned on indefinitely, which doesn't seem to be the case), shrewd enough to realize he got marked, and can react to minato's FTG blitz in the first place, but that's an awful lot to expect when Nagato doesn't have knowledge or the reaction feats. a powerful enough rasengan has already been shown to one shot the ashura path armor in canon by sage naruto. Minato can accomplish a similar feat. IF he takes nagato by surprise Nagato isn't activating the preta path barrier in time if Tobi couldn't activate kamui in time.
