definitely nagato
he had no intel on Gentle Fist and immediately dodged/countered all of the attacks with ease w/ Deva
and with his real body, he countered KCM Naruto with just one hand and did the same to Bee w/ the other hand

kakuzu got negged by Kakashi's taijutsu

He countered Naruto and Bee with Ninjutsu. Not only that, but it was done by Kabuto. We have no idea if Nagato would have been able to do the same thing with his own control.

In taijutsu alone? I'd have to say Itachi.
Likewise. Especially if it's JUST technique & prowess, not jutsu. The Sharingan can follow and copy anything it sees flawlessly.
So fisticuffs, definitely Itachi. Physical jutsu & the like allowed, it's kinda hard to say

1. Kisame 2. Hidan 3. Kakuzu 4. Itachi. Fyi im an itachi fanboy but his taijutsu is overrated. 1) low strength means low impact in his strikes 2) low stamina means he wont keep up. He'll tire out. 3) speed is good. He can throw more strikes at a short time but it works against him because he'll tire himself out.

if that's the case, then all Edo feats don't count
and why would you assume Nagato could control a body to go head up against SM and fight blindly against a Gentle Fist user if he couldn't do it himself?
