How is not beating Azuma a sign that she's not powerful enough? Now had you have said someone weaker then I could've understood, but not being able to beat one of the strongest of the Kin who had fused with Tenrou Island doesn't seem that surprising. You go on to say that she couldn't beat Bluenote or Hades. Who could? Makarov himself got pawned in two seconds by Hades without Hades receiving a single injury. And Bluenote was on Gildarts' level so even Laxus couldn't have beaten those two. So that's a moot point in itself.

You're forgetting something. Erza fought Jose after she took the brunt of Jupiter, and defeated Aria. In addition he did pretty good against Makarov (briefly) but to say he gave Makarov a run for his money is complete over exaggeration.

Yea, Erza got taken out by Cobra....and Racer and Hoteye. She was on her own against those three. He didn't fight alone. Humbled by Jellal? I think not. She could have attacked him multiple times in their fight, but stopped due to her relationship with him. You don't want to her the truth not excuses.

I'm sorry but your examples didn't prove anything. As a matter of fact, some of them that you gave, were things that Laxus (and in one case even Gildarts or Makarov) couldn't do.
