A more accurate statement would be "Guy is highly unlikely to fall for Tsukuyomi and other Sharingan-based genjutsu due to his training against battling Sharingan." Itachi could eventually trick/force Guy into looking into his MS. Itachi is capable of that, but overall I'm in Guy's favour.

Guy's only problem is Susanoo. He's very fast with his Gates technique, so he can most likely dodge Amaterasu. The problem is the Yata Mirror, which inevitably becomes a highly contentious issue in every VS thread Itachi is involved. Had the Yata Mirror not been there, Guy could simply use Hirudora to thrash Itachi and his Susanoo. The strain from Hirudora, combined with the incredibly painful strain produced by the Susanoo, would quickly exhaust Itachi.

But Guy has a huge problem because Itachi has the Yata Mirror, and its powers are so poorly and ambiguously defined that we can't say with any certainty how it would react against Hirudora. I personally think Itachi's Susanoo would be pushed back and thrown out of balance considerably even after the Yata Mirror shields Itachi from the most destructive forces of the Hirudora. But a lot of people would disagree with me and would claim that the Yata Mirror can easily block the entire force of the Hirudora. And since the Yata Mirror is so poorly defined and has practically zero memorable feats, there is no way any of us can reach a definite conclusion.
