I disagree. Erza couldn't stand in Hades' presence, but she had already fought briefly with Meredy and had been completely worn out in her battle with Azuma. Furthermore, she had no Magic Power left to do much of anything. The biggest attack she managed in the fight was to summon her Black Wing Armor and slash Hades. And Laxus' Fairy Law is completely ineffective against Erza. I do agree that Laxus is stronger, but I don't see there being that large of a gap between his and Erza's power.
