Untrue. Unohana was the first to notice issues with the sword, she discovered a way to see through Aizen's fake corpse, and Ichigo hadn't seen the Shikai's release. Not to mention, without the Hogyoku, which LED to his downfall, Ichigo would've already delivered a finishing blow (which did happen but was regenerated by the Hogyoku). Even assuming Aizen didn't let arrogance cloud his judgment, against Urahara's Kido and Ichigo?s FGT? He wouldn't have won. Granted, he might have done BETTER than he did, but he would've still lost before even touching upon the Ouken.
