Ok, you know why Itachi said that about Jiraiya. He didn't want to get into a fight. And unlike Itachi, Raikage is too proud and over-boastful about himself. Raikage won't even compliment, let alone admit someone is better than them unless they truly are. Itachi simply stated that about Jiraiya because he wanted to avoid a fight and not hurt Naruto. Raikage had no incentive or reason to say that if it was a lie.
