Currently, this is described on Aiolos' profile:
Exhibit A:
In Zero (a prequel that covers Aiolos' story which is completely canon as it is written by Kurumada himself and was even added to the original manga itself in the volume version of Saint Seiya Final Edition), when contemplating the successor to the Pope, it's shown that is unanimously agreed by the Gold Saints that Saga and Aiolos are the top 2 among them, between whom which they are indecisive as to who is the best. After this meeting, IN PRIVATE (so please no nonsense like "H-h-h-e was just being humble), Aiolos goes up to Saga, and by his own admission, admits that Saga is his superior in every quality mentioned at the meeting, which explicitly included power.
Saga>Aiolos.
Exhibit B:
A Saint of Saga's era also confirms that the Gemini is revered as the strongest among the Gold Saints.
And more importantly, Asclepius himself confirms this as well. This is most the credible confirmation of them all, perhaps even moreso than Aiolos himself.
Asclepius can and has observed the entire universe and all the moments in space-time up to end of the Hades chapter (he saw Saori traveling to their era before she did, and we can also see wheelchair Seiya from his perspective. Despite this, besides himself obviously, he confirms that the Gemini have remained the strongest per generation and never indicates any exception to this, despite the fact he would know absolutely everything about both Aiolos and Saga, and is also the superior to every Gold Saint in history.
A completely infallible, unbiased confirmation of Saga>Aiolos.
About the current justifications on Aiolos' page:
They're all based on nothing but statements from other Gold Saints and a guidebook simply reiterating these statements, basing it's information off them.
As Zero shows, in reality, even during the last times they had been together with Saga and Aiolos (promptly after, Saga's evil side took over and killed Pope Shion and became the Pope in secret while everyone thought he went "missing", while Aiolos was banished from Sanctuary by Pope Saga framed as a traitor, and died from his injuries by Shura shortly later) they were in complete indecision over who's actually stronger between Saga and Aiolos, and these statements are nothing but just speculative hype for the character, and nothing objective as they themselves have said.
Suffice to say, what Aiolos himself confirms in private, and Asclepius' confirmation>>>>> completely not credible, speculative hype from characters who admitted they don't actually know.
Proposal:
Aiolos: "Likely higher" is removed altogether, and the explanation of him being the strongest Gold Saint is replaced with something like "inferior to only the Gemini Twins Saga and Kanon"
Saga: "Likely higher" is added, and an explanation of him being the strongest Gold Saint of his generation is added.
This is simply outdated and inaccurate. Saga is stronger than Aiolos.
