I don't think someone who killed a Mangekyo wielding Izuna, who was said to be equal to MS Madara, is "no match for either Itachi or Nagato". The fandom has a tendency to overrate Itachi quite a lot. Tobirama can hold his own against those two 1-vs-1, but Itachi and Nagato as a team would definitely trump Tobirama. The only thing to be said against my position is that Tobirama has very little feats. But considering his lifelong experience fighting against the Uchiha (some of whom wielded MS), figuring out Itachi's fighting style wouldn't be a problem for him. Itachi's trump card would be the Totsuka Blade. Tobirama already knows about Amaterasu, and possibly Tsukuyomi. So the Totsuka Blade could put Tobirama to sleep. He'd have to hit Tobi with that first, though. Also, Itachi's MS techniques put a lot of strain on his body. Tobirama, on the other hand, has an extremely powerful chakra. Tobirama isn't going to be beaten easily, so the battle will definitely drag on. And as it drags on, Itachi will be put at increasing levels of disadvantage.

Now Nagato has far far higher chances of overwhelming Tobirama than Itachi. Nagato using the Six Paths of Pain in one body will probably be too much for Tobirama. But we've seen that Tobirama is very smart. So he should figure something out, though I doubt that would be enough to beat Nagato. For one, I have no idea what Tobirama would do against Nagato's Multiplying Hounds. And that's just the Animal Path. The Deva Path, the Preta Path and the Human Path would be too much for Tobirama's current arsenal of jutsus. So I'd say Nagato wins this most of the time.

TL;DR: I see the battle going towards Tobirama's favour vs Itachi, but I see Nagato overpowering Tobirama more often than not, though I suppose Nagato would do so with difficulty. Why? Because someone who killed MS Izuna and accomplished the badass feats we saw against Juubito isn't some wimp who's gonna be easily beaten by Itachi or Nagato one-on-one.
