I forgot about Roshi vs Jiraiya

And like I said, Gaara vs Toph is correct. Despite what the Naruto fans claim, because they can't think for 5 seconds, Toph actually outclasses Gaara.

1st: Toph controls ALL aspects of Earth, not just sand. She could easily, say, turn Gaara's gourd sand into stone, an Earth aspect he can't control. Gaara would then be helpless as he can't do anything without his special gourd sand.

2nd: Another claim is that Gaara is too fast for Toph; not true. Thanks to Aang vs. Ed, the fact that Toph has bested a non-Avatar-State a few times, and that Aang can react to lightning outside AS, proves that Toph's speed clocks in at over 53,000 mps. Gaara struggled with much slower characters, like Deidara.

3rd: They say Toph can't control Gaara's sand because of Gaara's mom. Well, in the Avatar comic, The Rift pt. 3, Toph was able to strip the armor off Old Iron-a powerful, ancient spirit who controls metal-WHILE HE WAS USING HIS OWN POWER TO HOLD IT IN PLACE (as his armor was really giant hunks of iron with no interlocking mechanisms). Gaara's mom got nothing.

Then there's the little things, like:

Toph being physically stronger (wearing a steel door doesn't affect her while Sand Armor weighs Gaara down)

Toph holding up Wan Shi Tongs library, a building comparable to the Taj Mahal (which weighs an estimated 2.8T tons), while Gaara needed Onoki's help to stop a meteor.

And Toph's precision and energy conserving tactics naturally trump Gaara's overwhelm and entrap methods.

Toph beats Gaara, no question
