so itachi and nagato are standing a few feet away is how the fight start with them both in there prime and full heath. well first off as itachi was no were near his prime as he died at age 21 were a persons prime is around 35, so itachi he would be a lot stronger then in the anime. his stamina would also be higher then 2.5. now assuming that this is nagato without all the paths this is how i see it playing out. itachi fires massive amaterasu and well nagato who can only use one of the paths powers at a time and would be forced to absorb the attack, itachi rushes in and stabs him threw the heart with his sword killing nagato.

intelligence wins the fight in a battle between ninja more then skill and at times and few are smarter than itachi. and as the basic sharingan has powerful predictive powers which would its logacle to assume these would be enhance farther in the mangekyo form itachi would be able to fallow any doge used.
