i would give it to itachi after a long and exhausting EPIC battle, aftrall minatos FGT is the only thing that exceeds itachis physical speed, but his susanoo can protect him form all sides, so a point-black attack is useless,

i would say that minato has more "powerful" ninjutsu techiniques while itachi has more "diverse" jutsus...

in taijutsu i rank itachi slightly higher, minato never showed ghreat h2h abilitys, yes, he was fast thanks to the FGT but not because of his own speed, and his h2h abilitys also rely massively on his FTG...

in genjutsu i give it to itachi hands down, and i think that this is the citical point which will decide the outcome, afterall he can even genjutsu someone without eye-contact, to handle someone minato would need to finish him fast...

all in all i would bet on itachi but it could go either way, i think 55%-60% chance for itachi...
