This battle between them could go either way, but for me I think Minato Namikaze would win.

Because he knows fuinjutsu he would be able to seal Amaterasu flames. And he is too fast for the sharingan. The fact that he was able to severely wound Madara Uchiha, put the Flying thunder god marks in him and take the nine tails from his control in just one move is the proof of that in all.

Itachi Uchiha is indeed formidable, but Minato is just too strong or to be more specific, too fast for him. I mean, he is Hokage after all. Not to mention, "The Yellow Flash". He wouldn't get that title if he isn't the strongest and fastest of the Hidden Leaf.
