In Reality Fugaku was Stronger than Minato. The Reason is minato lost his life while batteling from the nine tails, and fugaku controlled Kyubi, So fugaku is more powerful and one of the Underrated Charecter. Because He was the leader of Uchiha who are both Cunning and Powerful.
The answer is most likely that Minato would defeat Fugaku however it is unknown how easily he would do so.
"The Mutual Path" (互いの道, Tagai no Michi) is episode 442 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
We have to know that the Uchiha were not that angry at the fact that Minato was chosen instead of Fugaku. They were more angry that after Minato's death, Hiruzen took the position again after he already retired when Fugaku was a rightful candidate.
Fugaku was the only person who Itachi thought would not be able to kill. So the chances are Fugaku is stronger than Itachi, as we know when Fugaku was alive Itachi has just got the Mangekyo Sharingan , but on the other hand fugaku got it a long time ago and must have mastered it pretty well.
By mere hype alone Sakumo is easily stronger than Fugaku.
minato is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar way of the level of alive Madara. Hashirama would only be able to beat Minato so well, because of his familiarity with FTG and Bijuu's/ Bijuu chakra. Minato isn't a powerhouse or a long battle fighter and his best tech Hashirama's brother created, so it's really just a bad match-up here.
So Minato's total age during the fourth great ninja war is 41 years. So Shikaku and Minato are from the same batch. But Fukagu Uchiha was 40 years old when Itachi killed him. So Fukagu is older than Minato and Shikaku by approx 12 years.

Itachi could've been afraid of fighting Fugaku not because he was stronger than himself but infact because he was his father and faced in those circumstances wasn't sure whether he could bring himself to kill his father.

Sakumo is an extremely strong shinobi and is known as the White Fang of the Leaf. He was stated to be stronger than the three sannins altogether. While Sakumo is an exceptional shinobi, Kakashi is simply stronger.
SM Jiraiya can beat Hokage Minato in hard battle, but BM Minato is too strong. Minato was just able to perfect the balance. It doesn't mean he's a beast.
Hiruzen was actually stated by someone in the manga to be the strongest in Part 1 chapter 94, not Minato. Nothing was known about Minato except he sealed Kurama in Naruto and that he used Rasengan. 1) Hiruzen has all jutsu in Konoha according to chapter 120.
1 CAN'T BEAT TOBIRAMA: MINATO NAMIKAZE Minato had the advantage in terms of speed but Tobirama had better strength, stamina, and jutsu variety. It would not be a one-sided battle, but Tobirama should ultimately be able to defeat Minato.

Itachi's father had a level higher sharingan than that of Itachi's, and he does have more skill. However, if it was at the time before he became sick and died, then Itachi would beat him in a tight battle.
Originally Answered: How did Kakashi's father die? Sakumo Hatake died by committing suicide because he saved his comrades and got teased/bullied for doing it. R.I.P. Sakumo Hatake died by committing suicide because he saved his comrades and got teased/bullied for doing it.
Third, Sakumo was probably just stronger than the Sannin of that time period (a younger three sannin).
Orochimaru says that Hiruzen would've won a decade ago, despite Hashirama and Tobirama being there. So if his prime is like 39 years back, three more decades. Prime Hiruzen would squash Orochimaru, and I dare say that thinking along those lines, Hiruzen would beat Minato, likely with high difficulty, just to be fair.
If it's 1 vs 1, then Minato wins. All three Sannin had fought Pain at some point, and couldn't do anything to him.
Nara Shikaku (奈良シカク) was the jonin commander of Konohagakure. He was also the head of the Nara clan, and was a member of an Ino–Shika–Cho trio alongside the late Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza (who is now the only survivor of their squad team).
