He pretty much was simply by fighting him evenly, saying he is weaker is arbitrary based on his fighting style. Itachi never fought with brute force despite being pretty physically strong.
Except Naruto canonically threw one punch that Itachi avoided getting hit with. It's arbitrary that even though none of his attacks harmed Naruto and he never took a direct hit(or even something like splash damage) that he'd scale to KCM or Bijuu Mode.

This. So much this. But in Naruto vs Bleach threads, mismatches somehow aren't a thing.
