Since this battle has been done to death, I decided to spice things up a little:
So.. Uzumaki Nagato is one day doing some origami (If you know what I mean) when he discovers that some blond punk is putting the moves on his lo.g lost cousin.
He then goes straight to Konoha to challenge Kushina's would be botfriend to a friendly spar to see if he is worthy.
Nagato is at full health and mobile.
Minato is alive.
This fight is at most an intense brawl: the objective is to immobilize or knock out.
Go!

Until someone explains me how Nagato wins, i'll always stick up with Minato in this battle eventhough it won't be easy

But how does Minato touch the Nagato? FTG Kunai's are thrown km's away with little difficulty.
-Asura usage on Nagato tanks any attack by Minato bar Rasengan, which is absorbed via preta.
-Nagato's summons share vision with Nagato himself, and the dog never dies.
-Contract seal doesn't work on them for obvious reasons.
-Soul rip ends Minato.
-Nagato outlasts Minato with his massive chakra reserves.
-Asura laser one shots any Toad.
How exactly does Minato win? He gets outlasted and his kunai's are in positions which are so far away; that they are only viable for escape mechanisms.

My two fav. characters, so I'm a bit torn. Canonically, only Juubi Jins have touched, and harmed Minato. All of the power in the world is useless if you cannot touch your opponent. Ban'sho tenin is not a smart move considering it would result in Nagato getting marked. Once that happens, it's all over.

1- Animal Path is irrelevant because it's a long range support summoning that can be hold off by Minato's summon. Besides, the most important thing is to kill the summoner and FTG allows the user to reach the opponent really fast at any point in battle

2- S/T barrier counters Nagato's CT

3- Shinra tensei is no problem either. During the Pain arc Kakashi and Choji could throw kunais 3 times in a row during the interval. Someone like Minato can easily take advantage of this

4- Nagato still has asura, human and gakido path left for defensive use but not only he lacks the reaction speed to use them during a Hiraishin attack, but a kunai is enough to make gakido path useless, asura path is never restricting a teleporter and human Path takes a while to remove the soul

So all in all, his only relevant defensive jutsu is Shinra tensei, but the 5 seconds interval will be like an eternity against an opponent like Minato. Not to mention, Minato can easily make the combination with his clone to be safe.

Shinra Tensei restricts the whole Deva. When Choji threw a Kunai directly before Deva's feet, he couldn't use the ST. Minato would teleport to that Kunai to blitz him. In this case, Preta Path couldn't react as well. Minato could go in close combat and if Ashura Path catches him, he will mark him and teleport out. A marked Nagato is a dead Nagato, because he won't react to that blitz. Hiraishin with clones makes this even worser. Multiple opponents who can jump with Hiraishin and can teleport to each other due to being connected with Chakra. Two clones will attack Nagato, he will push them away, while the real Minato will teleport to him and blitz him within the interval. Minato can use Kagebunshin and has high Chakra reserves, as he could obtain Sage Mode. That enables him to use the Hokage level Jutsu Tajuu Kagebunshin no Jutsu.

Soul rip can't end Minato, as he immediately teleports away if Nagato only tries to touch him.

Nagato is stronger than alive minato for sure. He wins mid diff.

I don't see why people think Minato can't win against Nagato. I think base minato has the just right counters to take him down.

, and Chibaku Tensie can absorb mountains, so he has nowhere to teleport them.​
Minato has his Kunai everywhere. Even in Konoha. And this is no preparation. They are already there. He can teleport CT to where he teleported Kyuubi's TBB. And that was no preparation. The Kunai was already there.

Lol, this is a match. His kunai are limited to only this match.​
