I was thinking, not like Toph and Bumi would ever fight, but I was wondering who you all thought was more powerful. Personally, I have no idea. In The Guru, Toph learns to bend metal and declares, "I am the greatest earthbender in the world." Yet, in King of Omashu, Bumi tells Aang, "I am the greatest Earthbender you will ever see." Bumi is old and has experience, Toph is young and has much to learn. Toph doesn't need her eyes, and Bumi does, yet he is very perceptive to what is around him. He is also able to earthbend with only his face, and we haven't seen Toph do that yet. Toph can bend metal, and as far as we have seen, Bumi cannot. Opinions please

Toph will pwn Bumi. She is just to small to be hit

From what we have seen, Toph seems to be the greater Earthbender. But if I were to assume the greater, I wouldn't, to me, they are equally matched and could learn much from each other.

Wasn't there a thread that basically discusses the same thing?

Firstly, it goes without saying that Earthbenders are inferior cretin. Keeping that in mind, however, it would be Toph that could lay claim to the title of the greatest Earthbender.
One might ask why. It is rather simple, truly. Bumi is old and eccentric, and while this may allow him to surprise his adversaries with unorthodox tactics it also ends up being his greatest liability.
Toph, on the other hand, is not tremendously hampered by her blindness. Rather, it allows her to exhibit a greater resourcefulness than most others. Her willpower and resourcefulness, combined to the sheer virtuosity of her Earthbending, means that she is the superior one of the two.

Bumi's great and all, but.......come on. Toph can bend metal. But then again, Bumi had 100 years to master nuetral jin (which he probably already did) and can probably bend metal too, sooooo iono.

Well... Bending metal is pretty special... And so far she's the only one that can do it... Even the Avatar, possessing all that potential, can't... So Toph

Toph is forever the best. From what I saw in the King Of Omashu eppy Bumi isn't that good,at least note to me. All he does is throw big rocks. Toph is like a little surgeon,exposing weaknesses in her opponents.

Toph. She would sense every movement that Bumi made. Experience or no experience, Toph is clearly the greater Earthbender.

Toph. She could win easily. She can bend metal and metal is the weak spot for earth.

I'd say they're equally matched. Of course, we won't know until we see more of Bumi and what he can do. He can bend with his face, while Toph can bend metal. Maybe Bumi can bend metal too, I hope we see more of him next season. But for now, I say they are equal,
