Incorrect. Pain, himself, said Jiraiya could have beaten him had he known of his abilities. Pain knew of at least some of his abilities before the fight...wasn't very fair, but that's how it happened.
Basically, Jiraiya is stronger than Pain, based on that information. Pain isn't one of those exaggerating villains, so it was far from a lie or hyperbole.
