I could see Aang eventually being able to beat Katara in waterbending, especially since Katara was still a relatively new bender, despite being a master. I don't see Aang being able to beat Toph's eartbending, since it's more than a martial art to her, and Aang's disciplines are spread thinner than being able to just focus on earthbending. Aang could definitely take Zuko as well. I never saw Zuko as a particularly gifted firebender - he was always a better ninja/swordsman than a bender, though. Zuko canonically trained with Piendao to a high level of proficiency before his exile, and at the beginning of this series Iroh was still trying to keep him on learning the firebending basics.

Yeah, I felt bad for Zuko, but that's why I didn't include him, lol. He's definitely above-average, but it was never about his strength anyways I guess, lol. I mean, that was kinda the point that he wasn't that powerful, at least compared to his father and sister. If Aang had to pick any, I'd have my money on him beating Zuko in an Agni Kai before the other two. You do got a point about his swordsmanship, though. I sometimes overlook that since I think of him as a fire-bender first, but he won quite a few fights with those blades of his.

If there's one thing about Toph, it's that she literally immersed herself with the original earth-benders as her foundation to it all, so that definitely helps her out.

Also, I forgot, but since Korra establishes that Katara settled down to be a master healer, I suppose her fighting skills diminished at some point after the series finale of TLA.
