Here is why itachi would win in a battle vs minato
Minato main power comes from his speed and ability to ftg to his seals. Well itachi is extremely fast himself as he was able to keep up with buji mode naruto and bee. So itachi speeds cancels out minato speed not because he is as fast as minato but because with his sharigan predicting minato movement he can react quickly enough to counter.
Of course minato still haa ftg and that makes his speed unmatchable but the main way he uses it is by throwing kunai with the seals already them near his opponents to teleport towards them. But in a battle with itachi that's a disadvantage for minato because itachi is the best when it comes to throwing kunai and shuriken so anything minato throws his way would get deflected.
So if it comes down to taijutsu I'm not sure who is better but I would give the edge to minato because he's faster but in a battle with itachi you just never know it may turn out to be a clone and blow up in minato face.
Now if minato makes any eye contact with itachi the fight is over we have yet to see a non uchiha capable of handling itachi genjutsu so their is no reason to believe minato could.
So I see this battle ending 3 possible ways
1 minato lose cuz he looks at itachi and gets caught in a genjutsu.
2 itachi lose cuz he runs out of chakra
3 they both die because of reaper death seal.
But I don't see minato beating itachi.
