Why do people say Levi>Erwin?

[I'm stupid real stupid]

Why?
Erwin is the leader while Levi is the follower right? So Erwin has to be stronger right?

 

[Slowpoke]

I would be scared if Titans were real. ​

 

[Sir Blades]

Nope, if you look at their stats, Levi is stronger. But Erwin is right behind him.

 

[FlyingThunder]

erwin hasn't really shown off any combat skills but levi has so...

 

[snake orochimaru]

because Levi has two arms.

 

[Konohamaru of Akatsuki]

Levi is stronger. Erwin is smarter...

 

[-Punk-]

Because it was already stated in the manga that Levi is the strongest , Erwin is a leader & the smart , you can be the strongest & still follow.

 

[gutSy Sage]

Bertolt and Reiner solo because they are colossal titans

Oh

[Limbo]

because Levi has two arms.

TO SOON DUDE, TO SOON!

OT: It has been said that Levi is the strongest fighter of humanity multiple times lel

 

[Limbo]

Bertolt and Reiner solo because they are colossal titans

Reiner aint colossal, only Bertolt, Reiner is the armored titan

 

[Klezmi]

We whant second season!

 

[Dr Strangelove]

Well Erwin kinda has a f*cking arm missing so...
This isn't One Piece...:|
Erwin is my favourite character in SnK, closely followed by Sannez U_U, but in a fight and physical ability Levi is stronger.
Erwin is a better strategist and most likely has a higher IQ, now however Levi is physically superior to him.

 

[Zen Uchiha]

Levi > Erwin because Erwin doesn't do shit and Levi is a boss

 

[Rιver]

Levi is undoubtedly the strongest soldier, fighting for humanity -- for now. Erwin though, is the strategist and analytical soldier. A better soldier is not always measured by their combat strength, tactical skills serve great aid in battles. It's a jiggle puzzle -- I believe though, that Levi would easily be a better soldier in unexpected situations [stated to be the fastest person to respond in any kind of situation], while Erwin can plan better strategies in operations.​

Technically, you are right.
Erwin is a strategist while levi is a tactician at most.
