If this is the same Madara that is trying to capture Naruto for the Eye of the Moon plan, without the rinnegan or hashi boob, then i give this to Madara.

as cocky as he comes off to be, madara is a very shrewd individual, and he has reserves and power to match naruto blow for blow. His combat experience and ability to keep cool, while at the same time not underestimating his opponent will edge himself out in the fight.

Obito was able to play mind games with naruto and if not for the intervention of the Allied Shinobi forces, naruto's resolve would've broke. Imagine Madara who is made to be much more manipulative as obito.

In terms of raw power, Naruto wins, hands down because of full kurama, BUT when it comes down to it, i believe Madara will edge out due to him being able to toy with his opponent. i believe Madara will edge out 6/10 times.

with the other 40% will be due to Kurama's leadership and experience skills. Naruto is a crafty but Madara's intelligence > Naruto's, and the fact that naruto is highly emotional which interferes with his decision making, which madara will take advantage of.
