Well I will admit I would like to see this fight but I've already done a great many battle simulations on this question and in most of htem the conclusion was not surprising. Given that Lee could barely hold his own agnaist Gaara (even with the Six inner gates he can access) I don't think Boruto would have much chance agnaist Gaara. Now I haven't keep up with Boruto's manga exploits so my data might be dated but even so the same conclusion presents itself. I will say this though. Boruto seems to inherited Naruto's stubbornness (if inherit is the right word that is) so I don't doubt he would put up quite a fight. Both are very talented in different ways but unfortunately Boruto would have virtually no chance of getting past Gaara's ultimate defense. Plus if one factors Gaara's mentality (or perhaps it would more accurate to say psychopathy) prior to fighting Naruto then Boruto would be fighting someone who would readily kill him if given the chance. Besides even setting Shukaku aside (which seems like an exceedingly dangerous thing to do given Shukakus prowess) Gaara was essentially the personification of nihilistic ruthlessness before being defeated and enlightened by Naruto.
