I love this cartoon. I think Toph is really tough. Her earthbending powers are top notch. she's beaten all comers. do you think she could take on King Bumi king of the earthbenders?
I think that if King Bumi should die,heaven forbid, she should be made Queen. What do you think about the fight and do you think she would make a good Queen?

Hmm interesting question. On the one hand you have King Bumi who is old but a very experienced earthbender. It was on his advice that he told Ang to find a earthbender that listens and waits for the right moment.
Toph is a blind earthbender that uses a unorthodox style. While all other earthbender use Hung Gar style Kung Fu to earthbend. Toph uses Southern Praying Manthis Kung Fu Style. She is the only bender on the series so far that uses a different style than the norm. This gives her an advantage as the other aren't used to defending this new style.
So it would be a fight of youth vs experience. Traditional vs New. There are pros and cons for both. Traditionalist tend to be rigid and set their ways. While a Non-traditionalist is more fluid and open to new ideas.
However I think King Bumi would win. Because Toph is blind and that is her weakness. She sees by the vibration relayed to her by the earth. Bumi would figure this out. The counter is to make the ground less solid like sand. In the episode "The Library" we found out that Toph can't see as well on sand. She sees things as fuzzy. Bumi would use this to his advantage and while Toph is trying to see Bumi he would assault her with various earth attacks.
Also King Bumi is able to do earthbending with very little movement. As he was able to do a bit of bending with only his noise. With the sand and very little movement on Bumi's part. I would have to say that Toph wouldn't be able to see him at all.
The Winner: King Bumi

From episode 18 of the third book shows that Toph can feel sand as better as earth, and the way he fought in episode 6 it is apparent that he knows which direction is attacked by a earthbender feeling his moves and she can metalbend.
So Bumi sees normal and Toph otherwise but better then Bumi.
But Bumi have MORE experience than Toph and is VERY intelligent.
But I think Toph would win.

as much as I like toph, she would be blindsided (pun intended). King Bumi is a wise, "outside the box" earthbender. He would quickly figure out Toph's weaknesses, and use them against her, and plus he has more experience. He also would require very little movement to bend, to the point where toph may not even realize he lifted up a huge boulder. In addition, if Toph were to use metalbending, it would likely surprise King Bumi for a minute, but he has shown to be very skilled and adaptable, and I am certain he would at some point in the battle, make use of metalbending.

Toph Vs

I am a Toph fan, but I agree that King Bumi would win if he realizes that Toph sees through vibrations. He might not have the time to do so though, so it depends on the actual terms of the fight. After all Toph fought in the tournament at least twice and no one realized what's going on. In the scene where her opponent used a hand to support himself as he kicked a rock, she didn't just perceive his movement, she could "build" his entire body, calculate the angles, and dodge the rock. Also, she can hear (duh!), so she can still raise earth walls to protect herself even if she doesn't see exactly what's going on (like she did when she first met Azula).
A bit OT, Toph using Southern Praying Mantis makes sense, because it allows her to keep constant contact with the ground in a way that Hung Gar wouldn't.

King Bumi! He's a King, Extremely Intelligent, and a much more experienced 'Earthbender'!
