Lucci Vs Sasuke

I don't think he can handle Post-timeskip Sasuke's speed in general. He is massively above Naruto, Kakashi, Yamato, and Sakura post-timeskip as he demonstrates in their various encounters up to and including the hokage conference. He's massively supersonic pre-timeskip from the chunin exams on and it only gets more ludicrous as he gets the curse mark, and then the various sharingan upgrades. And then he trains with Orochimaru for two years and his training make tremendous strides in improving his speed unlike Naruto whose physicals are mostly stagnant in comparison. Naruto actually makes great improvements too, but Sasuke's progress causes Naruto to lose hope when they first meet, thinking about how far beyond him and his team Sasuke is.

In other words, Sasuke was fast. Really fast. He's massively supersonic early in the series. He then perfectly copies the efficient movements of Rock Lee and achieves an even greater level of speed. He then gains the curse mark and generally improves his chakra, speed and strength by training for years. His training yields near linear progress where as his peers just cannot keep up. He's as fast or faster than Naruto for the entirety of the series, and Naruto can move faster than his father's instantaneous space-time ninjutsu by the mid-war arc, which is far from the end of the power-up festival that was the end of the series. And given his absolutely blinding speed out the gate of the series, I think after the timeskip he eliminates Lucci before he moves.

This is all without even getting into his great strategic mind or the fact that Lucci doesn't know what the sharingan is and is probably going to make direct eye contact with Sasuke. Given that he's never heard of a sharingan before, Lucci is going to stare directly into his eyes before the match starts, thus ending it instantly, because if Sasuke couldn't speed blitz before he sure as hell can while Lucci struggles with a basic genjutsu for a bit. Doesn't have to be long, just a little bit would suffice. Sasuke incapacitates his foes given the slightest chance, so while he might not kill Lucci immediately he will take him out of the fight whenever and however.

Needless to say I think he wins something like 9/10, on the off shot Lucci resists outright avoids the genjutsu and can tag Sasuke first. Sasuke is squishier than Lucci by a huge margin, but clones and just probably being way faster in combination with the sharingan and sasuke's deadlier techniques, it should be enough.
