I agree with most of the arguments but I don't find Laxus that strong. Neither do I find Erza that strong(I love them both equally cause they are awesome). She is the most powerful female fighter and I respect that a lot, but Laxus isn't the strongest male character. Natsu is destined to surpass all (Hiro Mashima loves doing that) even Erza, And Laxus. Besides Laxus is now a kind guy who doesn't use magic too often, but he was pampered as a child(the MASTER's grandson respect thing plus the lachrima) while Erza unlocked magic by herself no one taught her to requip or fight, she taught herself while Laxus was taught BY SOMEONE ELSE. But both of them were cute weaklings as children so they aren't that much different.

To Nori- You can't count Laxus's dragon force because its a fake one with no real power unlike Natsu(meaning you can't count his power while in that form, we have still to see Laxus's true power only then can we decide)
