I'm pretty sure Bee was being hyperbolic, especially because he was fighting a 16 y old.

But we know Sasuke isn't the strongest he ever fought because Bee has fought Ay. And Ay was overwhelming Sasuke and would have killed him had it not been for Sasuke's team. Actually, both Ay and Bee on separate occasions would have killed Sasuke. Bee literally blew Sasuke's chest open, and was lucky to have Jugo there.

Also, regarding the actual statement. Which one has more relevance?

A character statement where only Bee has said it? (Sasuke is the toughest)

Or a character statement where many people have said it? (Minato is unsurpassed, said by Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Ay).

Also, Ay stated Minato was unsurpassed after he had already fought Sasuke.

There's way more consistency to character statements of Minato than MS Sasuke.

Also, Anko wished for Minato's prowess to fight Orochimaru. Not Jiraiya. Anko first professed her wish that a dead man were still alive, rather than for a man who was still loyal to Konoha to come back.
