Minato never actually defeated 4th A, because if he did 4th A would be dead. 4th A was also incapable of defeating Minato. 3rd A on the other hand can only be hurt by his own Hell Stab or an extremely powerful and sharp wind release tech and nothing Minato has can do that. Minato is 4th A level over-all.
