Just wanted to clarify that I am not a Minato hater. I actually like Minato since he did what he had to do to save his village and his son. Plus without him Itachi wouldn't be around to be solo king... Anyways...
I do agree that Minato is strong but these are the people I believe he can't beat due to him lacking Long range, genjutsu, or a strong enough short range ninjutsu (Read my conclusion before posting)
Nagato - Combined attack of Deva Path (Suck in minato and all FTG Kunai), Asura path (Blast all Kunai and Minato as he sucked in As well as Augment body to block all physical attacks with blades), and Preta Path (Absorb rasengan)
Itachi - Genjutsu (Minato has no counter), Yata Mirror/Totsuka(Makes him Invincible to all Attacks + Forces Minato on the defensive entire fight due to the size of totsuka and if it pierces you you get sealed), Suiton (Water wall for FTG kunai defense/wash away), Izanami, Tsukyomi
Tobirama - FTG, Edo tensei, Suiton, Superior experience with fTG, WAY more battle experience
Kabuto - Minato has nothing that can kill him except Reaper Death, Kimmimaro bone forrest + tayuya's flute, White Rage
Hashirama - Bringer of Darkness genjutsu (Minato is a sensor but Hashirama has Mokuton clones), Flower Tree world (Sleep minato), way more battle experience
Madara - Flower Tree world (Sleep minato), Minato also has no jutsu strong enough to kill him since he can absorb rasengan, Way more battle experience
Conclusion: My opinion will change once Minato shows a stronger Jutsu than Rasengan, IE if he could use Rasen shuriken or some other extremely destructive jutsu then he will easily beat 3 of the 5 people on my list. Atleast if you disagree with my list you can agree with this.
