Not so fast there...

Toph has bested Aang in fights before, and thanks to Aang vs Ed putting Aang's reaction speed at above 53,000 mps (that's miles per SECOND), Toph has proven to be at least that fast. Gaara can't compare

Just because Gaara's mom's (Karura) spirit is infused with the sand doesn't mean no one else can control it; no one has ever tried. Besides in the Avatar comic The Rift part 3, Toph overrides an ancient spirit's control over his own element with Metalbending, the most difficult form of Earthbending. If she can do THAT to Old Iron, she can easily control Gaara's sand.

Nearly everything here can be countered by the fact that Toph can easily bend Gaara's sand, as explained above. Toph doesn't need to pierce the Sand Shield when she can just dissolve it, same with Sand Clones. Toph can alter the sand's density, so the Sand Burial, and it's variations, are useless against her. Substitution also wouldn't work because of the Seismic Sense

Gaara's Magnet Release is non-canon, as it's only been sen in the non-canon Gaara Hiden

Gaara stopped a meteor only because Onoki lightened it for him (everyone knows this), and Gaara's sand didn't do SHIT to the second one Madara dropped

Gaara lost Shukaku, get over it

So yeah, Gaara has nothing on Toph. Gaara loses
