See thread title. For this topic let's be as broad as possible, and not worry about spoilers. For instance, navigating around DeWall in TBP, Fighting Lady Rowena in Rowena's Curse, and basically all of Equilibrium count as "boss fights."

i know this one, rotb mech woodsie lord fight is the hardest
also in rotb 2 there is a bonus mission where you can revisit the mech woodsie lord but you have to beat him a different way in that = even hard as, no one has done it yet

Thief isn't really about direct confrontation so there aren't many FMs that do it. Rowena's Curse has one. Mines of Margroth and its sequel Guilded Rivalry have this too, but they are missions way outside the traditional Thief mold.
Broken Triad has a sort of "final boss" but you can still sneak by him and escape.

I'm definitely including sneaking scenarios here; even thief 2014 had a "boss fight" with the thieftaker general that you could sneak out of.

The boss fight in the final mission of Thief's Rising 2 (T3) is surprisingly epic. It has multiple stages that need to be figured out by the player. The custom models and attack patterns are impressive.

Zontik's Patriot FM has a huge robot in the underground warehouse.

... and that robot boss is also defeated in a rather Thief-like way.

Island of Madness by nicked has a boss fight that's a bit more on the traditional (non-stealthy) side.

wolfenstein was tough
