.....Hm! I feel there's way too little of Gildarts to go off of right now. He doesn't have many fight scenes to begin with or a recent fight to gauge off of. Rather wait until we see something of Gildarts to show If he is stronger or weaker then *insert character*. Age isn't a contraint, given how just about most of the upper portion of the Ten Wizard Saints are old people. Age isn't always a constraint in the real world and it is DEFINITELY NOT in Fairy Tail. As we see with the Spriggan 12, it varies and age is no indicator for level of power anyway. Being "x" amount of age doesn't gauge someone's power.
