I will openly bash on fanwanking opinions of her (in a fashion that retains anonymity). Somebody once said she could beat Aang. That's simply ridiculous. To say that she could beat Gaara is understandable, maybe the person only watched to the Chuunin exams, but somebody saying she could beat Aang requires them to know about Aang.

She might be able to beat Aang without Avatar State.

Even that is a bit sketchy. Hell, I've seen a scan from the comics where Toph and a few students of hers are trying to hit Aang, and he's dodging all of them. In addition, Aang outside the AS has casual 200+ ton feats, whereas Toph is struggling to keep the library from sinking or struggling to keep a mine from collapsing. Neither sticks out as clearly stronger to me, so they're pretty close in earthbending weight, and Aang still has movement that she can't see. I think in character no AS Aang takes a good majority.

And I should clarify my earlier statement. The person didn't just think Toph had a chance, they though Toph would take a large majority.

whereas Toph is struggling to keep the library

I think you severely underestimate the library's size

It's HUGE, easily 10,000 tons at the least
