We do?
Because I could have sworn Itachi had such a high speed rating due to his hand signs? He's reactions are fast...but his physical speed from point a to point b are not that remarkable for S Class.
Reactions, how fast you can do jutsus, and physical movement appear to be what goes into the rating.

Let's not forget that Itachi easily evaded Bee's sword style and tangled briefly with Naruto in KCM.
But...he has the Sharingan. That's not a speed feat but a Sharingan precog feat.
It takes the seven swords style to counter the Sharingan...or amping up like A to make yourself second only to Minato. 😄 B and Itachi almost got to that point, but never did.
Also, Naruto was having a casual conversation with Itachi while just dodging Itachi's attacks: hardly the attacking that you presumed.
Sure, Itachi is fast, but he's not so fast that B cannot casually tell Naruto the he knows Itachi is behind him. I would put B and Naruto and a completely different level than Itachi when it comes to physical movement: he ain't no thang in to both of them as far as speed goes.
That also speaks of how fast B really is. I have more respect for B after reading that chapte.r

That said, yeah, in a foot-race between Itachi and SM Jiraiya, Jiraiya's likely faster. He's faster than anyone barring KCM/SM Naruto, A, & Gai using Gates.
Yeah, that's right, B*tch. 313
Jiraiya should be a bit faster than both Kisame and Itachi in his age mode. He's far stronger, of course. And absorbing his sage chakra would be suicide for both Samheda or Kisame. I still see Kisame being one shotted and the fight being mainly between Itachi and Jiraiya.
