Minato stomps pretty easily. His fights with Tobi and the Raikage give us enough info to show that he's far above the other 3. With Ay it was already shown that minato could both react to and counterattack him before he even recovered from his first attempt at attacking minato, without killer bee's interference Ay would've been dead 2 seconds after meeting Minato. With Bee his fight with kisame shows us that he'd get dealt with quickly by minato. Bee threw a lightning enhanced pencil at kisame on one side, relocated to the other side and attacked with a lightning enhanced blade, and kisame was able to dodge the pencil and block the blade while being at the disadvantage. Minato has far superior speed feats to kisame and if he were in kisames place he would've gave Bee the same treatment he gave obito... a flying raijin rasengan to the back of the neck and if bee isn't in his jinchuriki state (which he's never in at the start of a battle) then that curtains for him (Minato can also place a seal on Bee restricting the use of his Tailed Beast but we're not even gonna go there). In terms of Jiraiya he's barely a threat to minato honestly, his Sage mode is pretty much a non factor seeing as though he can be caught off guard (and literally everyone in the show that flying raijin is used on with the exception of Madara has been caught off guard even though they had full knowledge that Minato/Tobirama could and would use it) and Minato can force him out of it with a single touch with his contract seal (Jiraiya can't gather sage chakra on his own and needs Ma and Pa to do it for him, Minato forcibly end Jiraiya's summoning contract with the toads the same way he ended obitos with the Kyuubi effectively canceling sage mode.) and Base Jiraiya vs Minato is a slaughter. Keep in mind this is only Base Minato, Sage Mode Minato would make this even more one sided, if that's even possible (and yes Minato should have sage mode as a jonin seeing as though he would've never had time to go to Mount Myoboku and train as a Kage)
