The point being, people can have comparable abilities, but certain traits will still distinguish one. Eight gates is a power boost of taijutsu. I'm pretty damn sure Jiraiya never knew about the gates nor seen someone use it. According to him no one's taijutsu is unrivaled. He's probably going of his and her era at the time before the newer generation came along.
