Examples:

Could have pretty much taken out the entire akatsuki by himself

Could have just killed Kabuto and run around totsuka blitzing the other edos that were left, and defeating obito afterwards when he was an edo tensei

Was given a disease that decreased his stamina heavily, which made it his only weakness

If not Itachi is, then tell me who you think is and for what reasons. :)

would agree with everything except taking out All of the Akatsuki by himself. His winning streak would stop at Pein, Obito, and arguably Kabuto (unless we are talking edo Itachi).

but yeah he was nerfed. no arguments there

By far.

It's sad when a character has to be given AIDS, out of nowhere, and hold back in strength just to be killed.

Sort of. He was given some random disease, and arguably his best genjutsu could be broken by his brother (like why/how). Not to mention Totsuka and Yata practically make Itachi invincible. For some other odd reason Itachi didn't have/was shown withPS yet Kakashi/obito popped a PS out in no time.

Yeah that might happen, in Itachis genjutsu that is.

He couldn't take the Akatsuki on his own, that aside, it's between him, Orochimaru, Sasori and Pain

Except Pein and Obito lols.

Kabuto blinded him and he required Sasuke's help to buy enough time to cast Izanami, which took one of his eyes anyway.

Was given a disease that decreased his stamina heavily, which made it his only weakness

The disease was implied to be brought about by the mangekyou, since Madara became sick as well.

If not Itachi is, then tell me who you think is and for what reasons. :)

Itachi could not fly, Pein could. The rinnegan is two evolutions above the base mangekyou. Pein's deva path would have bound and or crushed the susano'o and the mystic weapons. The totsuka blade isn't as invincible as you believe. The gourd that makes up it's handle and hilt is composed of matter. Furthermore, the sword itself is composed of energy, most likely chakra since it's a shinobi weapon. The Rinnegan possesses the same properties of the byakugan and can see chakra networks so it can probably see through most genjutsu. Then of course there's the gedo mazou, powered by Hashirama's clone and several bijuus. The nine shadow dragons composed of ethereal energy themselves and able to barrage and absorb people's souls, not to mention its countless gedo rods with the same ability. Asura path possessed particle weapons, there's all the sannin level Rinne animals, etc etc.

Obito had mastery over Kamui and could phase through things as well as suck people into Kamui. Being that Obito could control Kurama and Yagura and his bijuu, I'd say he could probably contend with Tsukuyomi just with his base genjutsu as Sasuke could just with his base sharingan.

Nope, Itachi > both.
Itachi wasn't trying to kill Kabuto which is why he wasn't already dead.

Yah he's powerful. What else is new?

I still can't believe people think that shield and sword Itachi has are the most powerful items in the universe. Naruto has a terrible history of hyping up "weapons". I sincerely doubt Itachi would be able to straight up battle the entire Akatsuki in a single go. Maybe one on one confrontations he has a good chance of winning. But all of them?

No he couldn't have taken out Akatsuki easily, Zetsu was always watching everyone and reporting to Nagato and Obito so if Itachi tried to kill Kisame then he will be hunted down by Akatsuki and killed. He can used 4 MS jutsus and each ghost a lot of chakra and cause him pain and that hesitation can cost him.

And Kabuto could have just ended Edo Tensei to neg Edo Itachi but plot deem he didn't. Kabuto only forced his way in the war to get Sasuke and Sasuke was right infront of him so he could have easily coffin Edo Madara, Edo Kimimaru, and Edo Chiyo then end Edo Tensei and at the start of the fight Kabuto was dodging all Attacks with his sensory ability so no it wouldn't have ended the moment Itachi got there. Itachi isn't beating Edo Madara and Edo Kimimaru and Edi Chiyo team won't be that easy either. Edo Itachi would use up all his chakra before being able to seal Madara or Kimimaru team who have Chiyo who can control bodies and Kimimaru can make bones come out from right under you and all over the battlefield as he did against Gaara then move inside them. Edo Itachi have less chakra than alive Itachi and it doesn't instantly refill as it took Edo Minato time to replenish his chakra.

His other weakness being his MS which cost a lot of chakra per jutsu, caused him to go blind the moment he awakened MS and makes him blind faster when he uses MS jutsus (as Sasuke did), cause him physical pain after using MS jutsus (Susanoo takes both eyes and does more pain as it aches every cell in the body as Sasuke put it).

Madara was nerfed more after he became Juubi Jin lol they took away his Susanoo which he used pre-JJ with 1 eye, no wood clones, no wood jutsus, no katon jutsus, no Rinnegan jutsus such as Deva path, Asura path, Animal path, or Pretha path, had 5 of his TSBs FTG to Konoha. Naruto was nerfed a lot as well but the Madara thing was annoying since why give him the Juubi then not make him use jutsus he shown to use?
