In a regular slug-fest nobody of Fairy Tail, including Makarov and Laxus, have much of a chance.

But then Lucy didn't have a chance against Angel in the Nirvana arc either when it came to raw power against raw power, but still managed to overcome her due to her bonds with her Spirits.

But since we already had that several times, I hope such a fight would be different this time around.
