My pick goes to to Mike Tyson (or Mr. Dream depending on when you got the game) of the NES Punch Out.
This guy is just....hard.

I've been playing a lot of the old NES/SNES titles recently and the one thing I've noticed is that with companies focusing on the latest and greatest graphics, gameplay has become so much easier over the years. Who do you think is the hardest video game boss of any platform?

He isn't that hard, everything in that game is patterns and once you figure his out you can beat him without getting hit once.

Alot of people are gonna say you're just being cool. But you're absolutely right. I mean you can only get hit like 3 times and you lose. So you have to get where you can beat him without getting hit. Still one of the funnest games ever though.

More recently, Dead to Rights had some tough bosses.
And The Getaway was just tough in general.

How about Ozma from FFIX? Dude just randomly takes turns completely out of sequence and does percentage-based attacks. Even if you level up ridiculously, you're still a dog to beat him.

I guess this is all unnecessary rambling because Hollywood personifies something I hate about most people. He can take valuable knowledge, stare it right in the fucking face and never let a single sentence absorb into his brain.

I'm pretty sure Judge Doom was considered quite difficult. The game was badly difficult enough that I never made it that far.

Don't get me wrong, you have to put in a lot of time to learn the patterns but once you have it down he is ridiculously easy. Any boss with a more reactive AI, not a set pattern, will always be tougher than Tyson.

How about Jaquio from Ninja Gaiden 1? Anyone remember this nightmare?
I guess you can argue that he too has a pattern so he isn't that hard. But back in the day we didn't have "save states" and if you died to this guy while trying to figure out the pattern, you were sent back all the way to 6-1 and had to do everything over again. Almost broke quite a few controllers on this one

Stop playing games on easy. In the turbo edition and on hard he was insane.
