Obito would have easily beat Minato, towards the beginning of the battle, if it wasn't for Plot Induced Stupidity.

A acknowledging Minato as the greatest shinobi, doesn't mean he thought he was the strongest shinobi. No, he wouldn't have. He tried to suck him in and failed to do so. Minato was simply too fast for that to work. It wasn't PIS either, since none of them did anything stupid that was out for character.

Ay stated in a bunch of different ways that Minato was superior. He was the fastest, he was the greatest, etc. Part of being a SHinobi is combat. Minato is the better Shinobi, so better combatant. Not only that, it was already shown.
