Yeah, I'm still confused about the whole Jura thing. I mean, Erza should be close to SW level, and we can assume Laxus is over her. Jose, who fought on equal grounds with Makarov for a bit and was also a SW, stated that Erza would be a match for him had she not been injured. And this was wayy back before second origin and all that.

I understand that not all of the Wizard Saints are the same level in strength, but to say that they're not in the same league would be wrong I think. As far as I can tell, there's no way of just "sensing" how strong someone is in FT, so why are they so sure that he's that much stronger?
EDIT: Let's not forget this as well : http://www.mangahere.com/manga/fairy_tail/v26/c284/14.html
