I didn't question the truth of these words. But Itachi obviously didn't mean by this something like "this dude is out of my league". He said he can take on Jiraya, but it'd be very risky anyway. Which means that Itachi at his best is still a match for Jiraya. Yet Itachi didn't admit he's so inferior to Jiraya.
