Which means Sabertooth are egotistical cowards that steal other people's kills. I have yet to comprehend why Sabertooth can be the 'strongest' guild in Fiore when they do that.

If you kill all 5 of the top FT mages, there are plenty of fight left over in FT

Kill all 5 of the top of Sabertooth and they turn into scrap metal. If their top 10 can get KO'ed by one punch from Natsu, even if the latter is in plot armor god mode, I can conclude that without the top 5, Sabertooth will die a horrible death.
