well its not rly a boss, but im playing Darksiders and im in the first real dungeon the Twilight Cathedral. There is this mini boss event. First wave is this big ass General that have 4 minions with him. Second is the plauge vomitting monster with 2 minions, then i have to fight 2 of the Generals at the same time. The poblem is they take about half my health bar away in one swing. I got to the last part, killed one of the generals, but right before the other one was about to die he hit me with a horizontal swing. Even though i was in the air i got hit and ofcourse it killed me. I nearly threw my controller wall

unless you where the type of vampire that could turn into the big vampire bat/wolf.. thing and summon wolves.. it was awesome, also got me a katana ^^ but yeah boss fights in that cames is a ***** 
Just to stretch the term "boss fight", those pricks from guitar hero 3. Every one sucks.
And let's not forget Gonarch, the mother of all headcrabs, with the world's most obvious weak point.

King Calamari in Mario RPG. He's not hard, but always manages to make the fight much more annoying than it needs to be by throwing a party member in the air, taking them out of the fight for 1 or 2 turns, and when they get back, it's inflicting the "fear" status ailment which lowers their attack, thus making the fight drag on a lot longer than it should.
Kessler while playing the Hero on InFamous. It's not that he's hard, it's that he has WAY to much HP, and this fight is x1000 times faster with Arc Lightning.
2nd stage Lavos from Chrono Trigger (on first playthrough). You can fight Lavos at almost any point in the game. There's even a way to bypass the first stage. But you need to be at a certain level to even survive the first few SECONDS of the 2nd stage. No matter what level you are, he starts right off the bat with his most powerful attack (simply because if you act quickly, he'll never have a chance to do it a second time.)
The big moth in the Dark Forest in Zelda: Link to the Past. Once again, not hard, but VERY annoying. You are on a moving floor, with spikes that move around, fighting an enemy who can move effortlessly over said spikes and floor. Hell, there are plenty of bosses from this game I could classify as annoying, this one was the first that came to my mind.
Henry from No More Heroes. An awesome fight, but DAMN, that motherf***er was hard! The fact that he had a One-Hit-Kill move didn't help, either. Need I say more?

Mine was that time that I had to get my shift manager to give me off for Easter-
Wait- what kind of boss fight were we talking about, again?

Pretty much any boss which includes a timer of any kind.
I have a thing against time limits. We don't play nice, because I get too panicky.
If you want an example of my most dreaded boss fight..
Lich King Heroic. My guild got him down to 21% tonight, but he's still not quite dead.

Two things one's a boss fight and the other an entire level.
The boss fight was the final race against metal sonic in sonic CD(?).
The entire level occurred in a game without boss fights, Thief III (i really don't think you can count the encounter with grenth). Anyway, it was the cradle, which with the lack of a boss fight i think qualifies the entire level, which i played for over a week because i couldn't stand more than a half hour in there at a time. After finally escaping, it stayed with me, and i couldn't get back to actually finishing thief for another month because the cradle had been so unnerving that it changed the entire way i felt about the game up to that point.

Archimonde at the battle of mount hyjal (No not world of warcraft I mean the good old warcraft. Warcraft 3) Trying to beat him on hard. Well it was hard. Divine armour and chaos attack. Only way i ever beat him was clustering him with my tree base. slowed him down just enough for the timer to run out.
For hard in a good way, Demon's Souls is one of the best.
Most bosses in Demon's Souls are hard, but usually you can make use of the thief ring or other help the game provides to make them more or less doable (Man-eater, Old Hero, Penetrator). The Exception is Flamelurker, especially once you've allready beaten the game. The Thief ring will only help give you some brief moments of respite, so it becomes a long, hard battle of attrition.
It takes a superhuman effort to slowly and methodically hack away at his gargantuan lifebar, all the while knowing that he can very quickly turn the tables and undo all that hard work. The sense of achievement you get is fantastic though, I basically feel I've beaten the game once he's down.
Hard in a bad way would be bosses with a cheap insta-kill attack. You should allways at least have a small chance at coming back from the brink. The first Dooku fight from Ninja Gaiden springs to mind, but that's probably a bad example as you're supposed to loose that fight... Some resi evil bosses are similarly not that hard, but incredibly frustrating.

Fable 3, Sir Walter Beck. I will never again play that game all the way through to the end, because I just don't want to kill him again. That was the Saddest Moment a Video Game has thrown at me in the 10 years since I was 9 years old playing Final Fantasy 7 and Aeris died.
I haven't fought him yet but he's already made me stop playing the game: Flamelurker.
Hell, I'm crazy prepared for everything Demon's Souls could possibly throw at me, but I know he's going to randomly charge me and instakill my poor character.
Next time I play I'm probably going after some easier boss, I only have to find an easier boss(not easy in Demon's Souls).
