Itachi is hokage level and has scared danzo, Obito, orochimaru, kabuto and etc. I mean even obito said he would have been dead if itachi had know about his powers and that is when itachi was dead. So basicly itachi can go against mostly anyone he wants. So i think that itachi can beat madara but it also depends on which madara you are taking about.

Six path madara would take itachi down but the others i dont think so

Also keep in mind that he was supposed to be the hokage and that orochimaru who is jiraiya equal could not defeated him.
