 * 1) Laxus could've kept fighting, but Hades would've had no trouble finishing him off. Laxus had already started to feel the effects of just one of his spells when he transferred his power to Natsu. And as far as his injuries go, he was in one battle for all of two seconds. Hardly enough time to get any devastating injuries.
 * 2) Yeah, and Natsu and Gray were sweating when they saw one of the monsters from the arena. By your logic then, that monster must be stronger than both of them, right? And since Mavis was sweating here, Minerva must be stronger than her, right? And Erza sweating, must mean that War God that Natsu one shotted is stronger than her, right? And Laxus was sweating when Jura defeated Orga, does that somehow mean that Jura is stronger? Are you seeing the logical fallacy here? Some things are meant solely for hype's sake. The issue is you're trying to dig too much into and analyze something that was clearly just meant for hype.
 * 3) And Jura was considered the strongest human Wizard Saint in Makarov's multiple absences. And unless I'm mistaken, I've never seen him ranked as such with Makarov active.
 * 4) And you say you don't see Makarov acting that way if he was stronger, but above I've listed several situations above where that exact thing happened. :/
 * 5) Makarov power has been consistently hyped throughout the series. From Jura stating that the power gap between them was enormous, to him taking a shot from Jupiter without flinching, to the countless types of Magic he can known and use, to his quote: "immeasurable" Magic Power.
