You know, I always heard that Gaara is going to defeat Toph because 1) Toph isn't very good at bending sand and 2) Because Gaara's sand are powered by Shukaku and Gaara's mother love. I have 2 counter-arguments for those 2. 1) Toph might not be able to bend sand in season... uh, "Book" 2, but by "Book" 3, Toph not only learned to bend sand, but have mastered it enough to create complex "sand castle" structures; and 2) In the Comic-Book sequel of the first Avatar series "The Rift", Toph, along with some of her students in metalbending, managed to tear apart the elemental armor of the Spirit "Old Iroh" (and yes, that's his name! No relation to Iroh himself.), showing that Toph can in fact manipulate earth elements powered by supernatural beings.

Not saying that Toph would win, but if she does, expect Wiz and Boomstick to make a reference to The Rift Comic Book storyline!
