@arcus: Because of how they were portrayed (example: Toph causing an earthquake that even Kuvira was surprised about, sayingnher daughters were bad metalbenders, Katara being basically the greatest healer in the world, etc.). When she told Korra her reasoning for not helping against Kuvira and Katara not helping against Unalaq, I think was the writers telling us: "Yeah, they'd probably wreck these guys, but this is about Korra." They are the new Jeong Jeong and Pakku and Bumi to me. I would say the same if this thread was "Aang (water bending only) vs. Jeong Jeong." And Azula, I would have already considered to be one of the greatest firebenders in the world from a very young age (younger than Korra).
As far as feats go, Azula's got just as much raw power as Korra, and more agility, smarts and cunning. If it was a simple, straightforward fight, I think the faster one would take it, so Azula. If it was a fight that had tricks and resources involved, the smarter, so Azula again. One element isn't enough.
