OK I have proof you are wrong. Jiraiya lost to Nagato right....Well after Itachi broke out of Kabuto's control he briefly fought Nagato. BAM 5 seconds Nagato is burning up in Ameratsu. One might argue that the chakra styles or match up or whatever BUT. They both have equal Databook ratings. 35.5 (RLY HIGH). However it says Itachi is smarter, faster, better at weaving signs, better at genjistu. Jiraiya is stronger and has more stamina. We got 4 better traits with Itachi and two with Jiraiya. It isn't gonna matter if Jiraiya is stronger Itachi is faster. He will dodge it. It doesn't matter Jiraiya has more stamina Jiraiya WON'T LAST FOR 15 MINUTES. but you are not taking into count the summons Jiraiya has...that is what will balance a shinobi. Jiraiya is excellent at combination ninjutsu. He trained and taught the best of the best. His intelligence can not just be highlighted by a 5 point scale.

But any way...stats typically do not matter. That is why most go off of the debate points or opinions back up by the cannon story line. Ask Kisame and Kakuzu if stats matter. It is mostly about the match up. Kisame defeated by guy who is one point less and Naruto defeated Kakuzu which pretty much is better than him in every category. I would not use stats as a guiding force...
