Also Jiraiya in Sage Mode gave Nagato pretty hard fight and nearly defeat Nagato.

According to Itachi and Kisame they will not to face the Sannin in battle, fearing that the very best they could do together against Jiraiya would end in a stalemate, even with reinforcements correction only itachi said so,not both of them and kisame knew both of them could take on jiraya.itachi only said dat bcos he did not come to fight anybody.orochimaru is stronger than jiraya bcos he is virtually an immortal,who had mastered almost all jutsu (including sage mode).all he needed was d only thing dat can defeat him (sharingan).
