Kid's levels in Super Meat Boy. I spent a good three hours just trying to get through three rooms.

If MMO's count then I'd say Lady Vashj in WoW. Seriously, every damn time someone would find a way to screw up phase 2. They would get stuck on the stairs with the core or they would get too excited and start phase 3 early or they would root the strider next to the guy with the core and get that person killed...
Outside of MMO's I'd say The Harvester in DAO on Nightmare. Zergrushing a boss and praying to the RNG gods sure is fun <_<

I forget the name but the last boss in Albert Odyssey. That fight gave me fits and led to extream amounts of grinding.

When I was a kid, nothing could top Mike Tyson at the end of Mike Tyson's Puchout.

Cúchulainn in FFXII (at least the last time I fought him, he was giving me a pain, damn status ailments)
Penance in FFX
Almas second form in Ninja Gaiden Black (master ninja difficulty)
Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls, though this got a lot more easier, once I figured out how to seperate them.

Well, there's this: www.youtube.com/watch
In all seriousness though, first time I played "Silent Hill 2" I always died when I first ran into Pyramid Head (mostly because I was scared and had no idea what I was doing). It wasn't until my 6th reload when I realized that you can't actually kill him.
The Jabberwocky in "American McGee's Alice" is also a pain.

The final boss in Axelay on hardest difficulty. Merely reaching it was an exercise in patience. The first time I defeated it, my hands were shaking.
Runner-up is the final boss in Contra III on the highest difficulty setting. When a friend and I finished its final form for the first time we jumped out of our chairs and started screaming in triumph. It felt like a life accomplishment at the time. XD

My immediate supervisor at the IRS was far and away the toughest and the worst boss I ever had. He was amazingly inconsistent except in two respects. At any given moment one employee was designated the 'whipping boy' and another was the 'lightning rod'. The whipping boy remained the same employee time for all three years I was there. But the lightning rod shifted from person to person. Generally once someone became the lightning rod, they would quit within a month or two. One woman made it to seven months, but she was the exception.
He never killed anyone. He just made working there a miserable experience.

The Omnidroid 08 from the Incredibles on the PS2. Never have I raged so hard at a boss that was so easy when I figured out how to dodge it throwing rocks.

Not much of a boss but rather a final level with boss type enemies:
Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes - Rupert's final mission. I spent three hours on that mission just retrying and retrying over and over again to defeat the enemies within. The army on your side starts out with good numbers equal to the enemy but the enemies get reinforcements unlike you as the mission progresses and you soon find yourself facing two swamp mammoths which can wipe out entire units with but a few hits. It took me a while to take them down with my motor troops but then after that you get the boss of that level who appears. The boss isn't really that hard, it's the troops that follow her who are hard and by the time I got to this part of the mission most of my army was dead and thus I was at the disadvantage and was destroyed within seconds at times.
It took many attempts but I finally reached that part of the level with a healthy number of troops following me to engage in melee with the enemy troops and I called upon my officers to cast fireball and holy magical healing spells and simply spammed these abilities as I had the skill points to do so. That won the battle.
Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls were hard as a wizard. I beat them first go with my Knight, Pyromancer and Cleric characters. As a wizard it took me at least 10 tries. Solaire was a great aid during this fight.

Shao Kahn, at the end of Mortal Kombat's story mode - that guy beat my ass forty ways from Sunday, again, and again, and again... and again. I didn't think I'd ever beat him, but I managed to get him by sheer chance after a couple of hours of popped blood vessels and high blood pressure.
That was just on normal difficulty, BTW - I don't even wanna imagine how hard that bastard is on higher difficulties.
On a side note, the story mode in that game was awesome, and the final boss battle is one of the most epic I've ever fought - so despite the difficulty, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience (and particularly the sense of accomplishment after finally killing Shao Kahn).

The Mayor of South Hampton, he tried to stop my criminal activities with the help of Mr Bronson. Oh that was a nightmare fight. As I had no idea the mayor of South Hampton was in fact, Jet Li...People died, the city Burned, but I won with the help of a drunk Jackie Chan.
In terms of games hmm. M Bison in Super Stree Fighter Alpha 2. I had to lower it to one star to beat him, which aftering winning the game made fun of that fact.

While I agree with the first bolded statement, I have to disagree with the second.
My experience with Solaire during the Ornstein and Smough battle:
-50% chance he'll get lost outside the fog door somewhere and not even show up for the fight.
-if he DOES manage to find his way into the fight, he'll no doubt target Smough, while I want him to go after Ornie.
-He'll get maybe one or two hits in and then decides he's taking a break to work on his somersaulting. Smough gladly flattens him. You can argue that he's there to distract the other boss, but if he's only there for about 8 seconds, there's not much distracting going on.
Solaire was equally as helpful in the final boss battle. Almost wish I never saved him, but it's Solaire...I'd feel terrible if I didn't.
I don't think any other video game boss challenged me as much as Ornstein and Smough. Some frustrated me, like Deadly Premonition's stream of three end bosses (one being a freaking QTE, which I loathe) but nothing like Dark Souls' duo. Even the rest of that game was a cakewalk compared to Anor Londo.

Uh-oh. I haven't even got there yet...progress is kind of slow as it is.

Do you play online? My internet is not reliable enough for Dark Souls apparently, because I never saw a non-NPC summon sign or was invaded once. Perhaps Ornstein and Smough are easier to handle with another actual person.
They're not impossible though, don't give up.

With certain poor raid groups, healing in WoW was incredibly difficult and one single suboptimal split second reaction would wipe the raid. Some of those fights have been the toughest for me. But they wouldn't have been tough if people had just remembered the boss mechanics.
Yeah if you don't have the right elemental weapons (which I didn't the first time), you're basically just overrun by invincible mobs and you can't res because you can't kill anything. Other than that, I don't think it's particularly difficult, though it depends heavily on class.
