Base Jiraiya almost died to a four tailed cloak Naruto during the timeskip, while 3-tomoe sharingan Kakashi fought and made contact with at least 2 or more jinchuriki in their version 2 tailed beast states. Now granted Jiraiya was trying to restrain Naruto, but the fact that Kakashi was able to defend and land solid hits against the transformed jinchuriki(where as Base Jiraiya got damaged as seen with that chest scar) without his Mangekyo Sharingan makes believe that Kakashi with Mangekyo Sharingan would win against Base Jiraiya. With the Mangekyo Sharingan, Kakashi can percieve attacks and fast moving things faster than he could regularly(Kakashi before the start of the series sliced a lighting bolt with his lightning blade), where as Jiraiya EVEN IN SAGE MODE couldn't sense or react to the Asura Path of Pain. Base Jiraiya loses in speed and reaction. Not to mention Kakashi knows many techniques and his own intellect and fast thinking trumps Jiraiya's wisdom. My verdict is that Kakashi wins against Base Jiraiya with only some difficulty.
