How was Sasuke fodder without Itachi's eyes? He was one of the best Shinobi before he had EMS,there's no denying it,and Sasuke used Susano'o arrow,Amaterasu,enton,and was able to predict movements and use Genjutsu - now you are acting as if having Itachi's eyes allowed him to do that.
Google - "Strategy define" and look at those 3 pionts.
Here is Sasuke doing that on his own,and the Kyuubi doing that for Naruto.

You like saying Naruto earned the Kyuubi but you act as of Sasuke didn't ear Itachi's eyes - either way - Itachi's eyes don't give him strategies and continously load up chakra while he fights.
2 Vs 1 and it was still a draw.
