We don't know exactly how the fight will go but there are certain things we know for sure.
They will have to be equal, or about equal, at the time of their fight, otherwise it would be pointless and anticlimactic. Anyone who says "X will fodderize Y and make Y look stupid" is wrong.
Fact: Kishimoto will not end the manga with Sasuke killing Naruto and destroying Konoha.
Fact: Naruto will not kill Sasuke because he promised Itachi he wouldn't and Naruto needs to break the cycle of hatred between the Uchiha and the Senju.
Logical assumption: Naruto said that if he and Sasuke fight, they will both die. However we can be pretty sure the manga will not end with them both dying.
Possibility: The fight could end with neither of them winning. I don't mean in a stupid anticlimactic way, I mean in some epic twist comes into play during the fight.
