And yet people trusted Naruto to deal with Sasuke? No, Jiraiya and Orochimaru's relationship had nothing to do with whether or not they thought Jiraiya was able to beat him.

Also, Kakashi knew both Jiraiya and Minato. And said that Minato was unsurpassed and only Naruto could surpass him.

Jiraiya knows his own ability and Minato's. And noted that Minato was unsurpassed.

The 4th Raikage knew many powerful Shinobi, including himself, Bee, the other kage, etc. He even knew that Naruto had beaten Pain. And yet, he said no one had surpassed Minato.

Jiraiya is a powerful Shinobi, and easily Kage level. But everything points to Minato being more capable of a Shinobi.
