There is no single thought. I have several, thinking about what I possibly read in the Manuel.
There is a main thing of note though. I know I've been posting about Fable a lot in my last few posts (sorry!) But Fable 1's boss, one hit to his health seemed to take off a chunk so my first thought was, "That's it?"

When ever I get to the boss fight I often think "Fuck,shit,shit,fuck...heal...FUCK...One more time" or "Shit,shit...Heal...Take that...Victory!!"
None were easy, but some used incredibly annoying tactics. Like the tower knight's archers. Fucking evil.Rem45 said:
"Well s#!t, the game is almost done" or the more frequent one: "Finally get to use all the stuff I've been saving for this guy" after which it usually takes only 10% of the stuff to defeat him.
Usually its something like "hoow shit its the.. ow wait its the credits already"
Just a few games really made something epic.
Playing Serious Sam: the first encounter on local multiplayer (hardest difficulty +400% +200% per player x 8 players).
"Uh.. wait wasnt this the part where the bo.... Holy fucking shit!" (boss + hordes of enemy's multiplied by the added difficulty spawned)
darn thing took about 45 minutes to die. but damn it was fun
(that was about 9 hours of continues play from start to finish).
I still hate bulletstorm for not having a good boss fight at the end. The plant in the middle was cool though.

"Now where did I put my rocket launcher?... OH SHIT I JUST USED IT ON THAT LITTLE BUNCH OF DUDE FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES!!!"
Thus follows several hours of me getting my ass handed to me on a plate.

-*save game*
-Well that was a short/long/stupid/incredible game
-Gasp it's that guy that no one would have suspected
-Oh, damn it I knew I should have went down that other hallway first.

"Come on. . .Let's hear the music!"
I can tell a final boss by music. "The Legendary Beast"? Cool, but not cool enough. "Maybe I'm A Lion"? Also cool, but not intense enough, and then I hear the opening piano plinkings that open "The Extreme". Fuck yeah, bring it the fuck on.

By God, I do hope no one comes along and shoots you halfway through your monologue you miserable creature.
If it is a game where the boss has been heavily involved throughout then I think something along the lines of "I am going to shove my boot so far up you're ass..."
If it's some sort of a twist ending thing I now think of the Robot Chicken's M. Night Shyamalan "What a twist" sketch.
And Finally for things like Fable 2 "I was going to shove my boot so far up you're ass but now I just want to kill Reaver for being a bigger dickbag than you."

I think to myself this boss will be 1 of 3 things:
a)rediculously easy (see Gears of War 2)
b)genuinly challenging (see Vanquish) or
c)just annoyingly cheap (see Dead Space 2)
I also get kind of excited that I will soon see the ending.

"This boss had better not be easier than any previous boss." or:
"Shit! I forgot to get ammo/health!"
