Than I guess Erza can beat Zeref and Acnologia right? Come on m8. Laxus is clearly stronger than Erza. It's obvious.

"Because she's Erza" was said by Happy. The same cat that said it can now resist fish a little bit. Not really a reliable sources xDDD.

Different abilities don't matter in this case. Laxus's reaction speed, mobility, strength, durability, endurance, CQC and offense feats make Minerva's look like a pile of shit (no offense Minerva fans..). Minerva's Yagdo Rigora was tanked easily by Pre-SO Erza and a non serious Kagura. When was the last time someone tanked an attack from Laxus? Think about it.
