    That is right you're very right if Toph could see she can be more powerful i think?

    Someone on this thread said something to the effect of Bumi has more power than Toph, NOT TRUE! Toph has done some freakin amazing bending with huge rocks and statues that were about equal size to the pedestal that Bumi lifted against Aang in their fight. However, Bumi will win. No jokes, few questions, HE WILL WIN. Even if Toph is a super powerful bender compared to everyone in her city, think of this. Even Xin-Fu didn't do any really amazing things with his bending before getting owned by Toph. She has never really fought one singly powerful bender besides Aang(It's true. She hasn't been in any serious fights with anyone very strong). Aang beat Toph when they first met because she wasn't expecting an air attack in an earthbending tournament and she can't sense air movement as well as earth movement.

    Earthbenders seem to typically have an ego issue.
    The Terra Force was supposed to be the elite of the elite, then a little girl (two if you count non-effective Mai) beat them all in a few seconds.

    Of course Bumi has said he is the most powerful earthbender Aang would ever meet.
    Toph has said she is the greatest earthbender in the world.

    Who is right and who is wrong? Bumi can bend with his face, something Toph hasn't been able to do in the past, then again, Toph can bend metals, something no earthbender has been known to do. But of course toph can't see, and sand is one of her weaker areas of bending. Then there's Bumi's age, which doesn't seem to make a huge difference but you never know when the old ticker will just stop tickin. Toph has beaten dozens of earthbending champions and dozens of Dai Li agents. Bumi on the other hand has had a lifetime of beating people up. All in all it's hard to say who would win. Maybe the makers will give us the gift of seeing the great duel some day. Bumi:who's the little blind child, Aang?
    Toph:LITTLE BLIND CHILD?
    Bumi: Well yes. Your height is dimunitive, and your sight is non-existnet!
    Toph:Just who do you think you are, old fart?!
    Bumi:Just the best earthbender of all time.
    Toph:No I AM!

    I'm totally a Toph fan, and think she is one (if not thee) best characters in the series. She has been shown she can take on and beat guys twice her size/age and with probably twice her experience, but I have to say that Bumi would probably win.

    Sure Toph is a great bender, she has shown it time and time again, and is the only person (know at this point) that can bend metal, and her seeing through vibrations gives her an advantage, but she has less than 10 years of experience, where Bumi has (assumingly) over 100 years.

    Yes experience alone doesn't mean he will win, but still it can and would count for a lot, plus Bumi can bend with out even using his hands but by (as seen in episode 203) can earthbend but just looking at the earth/object, which is and still Toph has yet to show, at least at this point.

    Overall if you take Toph as she is now age 12 (though probably getting closer to 13 at this point in the series) and Bumi age 111 Toph would lose, but I can definitely see a point in the future (years later... 10-15) where Toph could defeat Bumi, it just not now.

    Actually, Toph has been shown to be able to bend with her face. When she and Katara went to that spa in Ba Sing Se, she bent the mud on her face to scare away the attendent. But as much as Toph is my fav character, I still have to say that Bumi would win because he has way more fighting experience and is a master at thinking outside the box. He'd probably come up with some genius way to take advantage of her weaknesses.

    Of course, after a few years of developing her metal bending, I'm sure Toph can become much more powerful than Bumi.

    bumi has bend with his face in the return to omoshu when he was in that metal box after talkin to aang he went back up that hill. and he has extremely more knowldge than toph becuase first he told aang about those 61 secret methods or whatever they are and second he told aang to find a earthbending teacher as in toph

    So what if she can metal bend? What if she isn't in contact with any metal? Bumi hasn't show the ability to metal bend but that doesn't necessarily mean he can't. And come on Bumi is a lunatic and thinks far out the box!

    Bumi would win. He can think outside the box and open his mind to the possibilities. He's a mad genius. Even though Toph has some mad skills, I believe Bumi would adapt quickly to her moves, something Toph isn't used to.

    Toph will be the winner - she is the most powerful and unique Earthbender and the only Metalbender!

    Click here for Toph earthbending with her head. I can't host pictures for some reason.

    I still prefer Bumi though. At the moment I think it would be a pretty even match but I just like Bumi because he's insane.
