Really? I actually felt like that one was my least favourite colossus of the game. Except for maybe the little lizard thing in the colosseum.

Who mentioned bad boss fights? Either way, you're crazy! Little Kings Story had some of the most unique and diverse boss fights ever, and they were a whole load of fun. I'd say they're amongst my favourite boss fights, simply because they're really different from what you're expecting from a boss normally.

Pretty much every boss in Demon's Souls and God Hand. The Metal Gear games have some great bosses as well.

...But did you beat Mike Tyson?

Yes, I did. It took forever, but I did it.
You do it like this guy?

not so much that I enjoyed that boss battle in particular, but I knew he was the LAST one and didn't want the game to end.

Metroid Prime from...well Metroid Prime! It's a pretty simple battle but was really epic. It made you utilize just about every ability you gained through out the game leading up to and during the battle with him - even the different vizors in his final form (which is actually kind of a let down since he only really has one attack).

Meta Ridley's battle before that is pretty awesome as well.

Also every Dark Samus battle in Echoes.

Cheats! Tyson's health bar goes down extremely slow, and it takes quite an effort to simply knock Iron Mike down just once.

I call shenanigans.

He did say he played it with the emulation slowed down so he could time everything perfectly.

The technique is real, it's just very hard to pull it off as consistently as he does (and as mentioned, he used an emulator to be consistent).
