I highly disagree. The Raptor in the right hands, will easily out maneuver any fighter the World has to offer. It is a simple fact, determined in tests against actual Russian and foreign aircraft around the World.
Nothing can out maneuver it to date.

I'll take your word for it. However Janes stated that both aircraft were pilot endurance limited as far as their ability to pull G forces. Unless we have better suit technology, it would appear that so long as there is a human at the controls the match would be even.
Pilot training can increase G tolerance for short periods. That just brings us back to what Manfred von Richthofen said in 1917. It's not the crate but the man that matters.
