Personally I think Itachi is actually able to offer a significant resistance against Nagato, and it definetely wouldn't be an easy ride for the latter, but that's all Itachi can do. Unless Itachi successfully hits him with Totsuka Blade, Nagato would eventually overpower him. Yeah, Itachi demonstrated he can counter some of Nagato's jutsu and tricks (joint field of vision with summons via shurikenjutsu, CT via using it's weak point to attract everything, techniques including), yet with Six Paths abilities Nagato's battle style is so versatile that even Itachi can't deal with everything he got.

Besides, I think there're 2 Nagato versions we know: SPoP version (which means that only dead corpses battle cause the original is too crippled for this) and "Prime" version (no dead bodies, just Nagato himself, completely healthy and with all Six Paths techniques in one body), thus I don't know why so many people combine both of these forms in an overpowered one (SPoP and battleworthy Nagato together).
