itachi is a very skilled shinobi in hand to hand combat due to being an uchiha but that's not the point. minato's FTG was slightly faster than tobirama's wich was caught by madara while he had just one eye.think abou it. itachi had an ilness and it would be hard for him to sustain susano'o. i mean he needs to use only the ribcage for him to have more stamina and in order to catch minato in tsukuyomi he needs to make eye contact and minato wouldn't fall easy into his trap. both of them are pretty wise in battle knowledge but itachi would find a way out. minato is capable to evade the amaterasu as itachi can't use flame control. minato has sage mode wich he can't use it effectively so i doubt he would use it in a batlle with an opponent like itachi.but he also has the yin half of kurama wich means he has some great reserves of chakra and also it grants him more speed. i think the only for itachi to win is to use the izanami since minato doesn't know anything about it.
