I think its Toph... She used all the sense she have to do Earthbending/Metalbending. Furthermore, King Bumi himself ask Aang ti find the person like Toph to teach The 阿凡达 Earthbending...
Physically? Then it's Bumi no doubt. If bending wasn't an equation, then Bumi would when no 问题 asked.
If bending was an occasion...well Bumi's a old wise man. That could pose a bit of a problem, but I think Toph would be the better one. Her bending techniques would win square-flat
Bumi, he has 更多 exprience, and has the most powerful earthbending in the series, Toph can metalbend, but Its shown that Bumi dosent even need to be touching the ground to earthbend. In the future Toph will become stronger but right now Bumi is better.
Toph is way stronger than King Bumi because Toph knows how to metal bend and is already a super powerful Earth bender. Also Toph is only a teen so theres still lots she can learn. Bumi has 更多 experience but thats the only thing he has Bumis already old and hasn't learned metal bending.
Bumi as he has been a earthbending master for years and with bending practice is important, bumi is better he shows with when ye retakes Omashu, but toph was the potential to be better with practice and humility toph could could be the greatest earthbender of all time
Toph. But if King Bumi did learn MetalBending then him NO 问题 ASKED. And let me tell 你 why he has everything toph does but even 更多 wisdom and power. Bumi thinks of new ways and crazy skills to do. He is also blind in 1 of his eyes if 你 look close enough so he can do all the sensing too. My finale answer would be KING BUMI, if he learnt metalbending he would be the GREATEST earthbender alive without a doubt. Even if it was a earthONLYbending hes still top.
Toph is a better bender than Bumi because as shown in the post series comics the only earth benders that can metal bend are the ones that make Toph's 太空 Earth bracelet vibrate when it is brought near them. Since it is never known whether Bumi is able to metal bend, Toph is the clear winner
Ooh, toughy... I'd say Toph - especially if 你 take age into account, since I doubt Bumi was as good as Toph when he was her age. If they fought now, though, it would be very close. Bumi's strategy is probably better, 给 his experience, but Toph can metal-bend. Hmm. I still think Toph would probably win 由 the skin of her teeth.
