She was greater than him way before she bent any metal. Her bending is more precise, she's bent larger pieces of earth and she's got the ability to read and counter the attacks of any earthbender she meets.

We haven't seen any real bending with Bumi. He was just playing around with Aang in "King of Omashu". Bumi would probably be able to deal lots of damage to considering he has mastered all the kinds of gin (sp?), including Toph's method of fighting. However, Toph would sense Bumi's bending because she can sense any earthbending moves. Toph is probably the better earthbender for that reason. Bumi would just last longer in the fights because his senses haven't had the need to balance out like Toph's so he is vulernable on any form of earth.

ive just realised, toph relies on people moving to counter them doesnt she
but bumi doesnt have to move, he can earthbend with his mind, therefore could toph actually see him, well fell him, she might be able to see the earthbending but not him therefore

Bumi was bending with his face and neck not his mind. Seeing as the Dai Lee's most common attack is launching their gloves which recquires very little in the way of movement I reckon Toph can discern very small motions after all she can feel heartbeats(through earth), ants crawling on the ground and recognise people by their footsteps.

Actually, didn't Toph bend with her face in Tales of Ba Sing Se?

She did but all she bent was the mud on her face somewhat lesss impressive than bending solid rock.

Toph is better than Bumi. Will be whatever right now they are probably evenly matched...

I have no clue who would win, but it would be fun to see them go at it.

TOPH! I know that King Bumi is great, wise, old, and all but... TOPH can metalbend! Now that's cool. In Book 2 chapter 3... I think Bumi is earased from the series so... ya!

Don't forget everyone, Bumi is old.He's had a hundred years' worth of earthbending. He probably knows a few tricks about how to stop earthbenders. (But Toph goes by her own style, so it may not matter.) Even if Toph can metal bend, it doesn't matter too much, since it's not all that useful in a fight. p.s. Bumi is probably buff enough to bend metal anyway.

Toph
metalbending ftw? And Bumi definitely can't metal bend because otherwise he would have gotten out of that metal prison thing no problem. but instead he just earthbended with his face and ....remained in it.
Toph wins. bumi loses.
'nuff said.

And Bumi definitely can't metal bend because otherwise he would have gotten out of that metal prison thing no problem. but instead he just earthbended with his face and ....remained in it. Toph wins. bumi loses. 'nuff said. Oh-yo-yoy. You knew this was coming. Remember what Bumi said? Remeber? He said that he was waiting for the right time to strike. For all we know he can bend metal. And also, for all we know, remaining in that metal prison was part of his plan. A nasty little surprise, a seemingly frail old Earthbender, known for his skill, but apparently not able to bend metal suddenly busting out of his body-tight cell. And on that note, we really don't know what all Bumi is capable of. Toph is great, no doubt, but when you consider the fact that she has to feel the attack coming through the ground, she's completely vulnerable from above. Remember what Bumi did in his fight with Aang? He took that balcony and would have dropped it right on Aang if he hadn't been pretty much playing around. If it had been Toph, she'd have known he took the balcony out, but probably would have expected it to come from the front and prepared an apropriate defense, only to be crushed by or narrowly avoid the attack.
