Sasuke fanboys are out of hand as per usual.

Sasuke's only guaranteed way to win is Perfect Susano'o. This isn't restricted, so Nagato gets one-shotted. If Perfect Susano'o is restricted, then Nagato likely wins.

All of this nonsense about Sasuke speed-blitzing Nagato shouldn't even be taken seriously. Shin grabbed his blade with ease when Sasuke attempted to rush him down.

Sasuke's Amenotejikara+sword strike combo failed against Kinshiki since he only managed to cut off a horn. Sasuke was just about statistically equal to Kinshiki outside of physical strength. The same guy was casually dodged by the all of the Kage(Chojuro, Kurotsuchi, Gaara, Darui) on multiple occasions.

Sasuke needed a diversion to hit Naruto and even then, Naruto turned around completely and put up a guard.

Diversion+Amenotejikara managed to almost land a clean hit on a Six Paths Senjutsu user, not just randomly teleporting.

Nothing implies that Nagato wouldn't be able to react to Amenotejikara within itself. We can only infer that he wouldn't be able turn around and physically put up a guard even with the jutsu supported by a distraction like Naruto did.

-Sasuke fires a Katon. -Nagato starts absorbing. -Sasuke teleports behind Nagato. -Nagato isn't a Sage like Naruto, so he likely can't turn around and physically put up a guard, though he doesn't need to since Asura Path arms and Shinra Tensei, which are activated by thought only blow Sasuke back or even kill him outright.
