Fully powered Samus has boots that let her jump as high as she wants to plus a move that lets her jump horizontally for an infinite distance. She doesn't have Fett's maneuverability in the air, but she does have a lock-on ability that lets her keep flying enemies in her sights without failure. Most of the enemies she fights, and kills, are airborne. Plenty have jetpacks.

Besides, it takes a cybernetic pterodactyl blowing up a space station to damage her suit.
then saying this...
I don't care if Boba Fett killed Godzilla with his pinky
...doesn't add up.
he just doesn't have Samus's firepower
That's debatable.
Besides Fett could survive the temperatures of Hoth. According to a few sites I've read, no way Samus could. Obviously we are not on Hoth...but I'm sure the theatre has a freezer..
The two statements add up because cybernetic pterodactyls > Godzilla. It is not debatable whether Samus has more firepower than Fett. She holds a payload of dozens of guided missiles that she can launch from her arm canon. She has a weapon that freezes anything it hits into a block of ice that can be shattered along with the enemy trapped inside with a missile attack. She can call in her own ship, which is at least as powerful as the Slave 1, by remote for an airstrike.
Also, a theatre freezer would not stop Samus. First of all, she would not be lured in there to begin with because her suit can scan temperatures. She also has thermal vision and x-ray vision. Second, she can survive temperatures far colder than a human's freezer. Metroid Prime has an ice level with an environment similar to Hoth. There's even a boss who is an ice monster, which she kills. The weakness against ice you're mentioning probably refers to her vulnerability to attacks that freeze her in a solid block of ice and require the player to mash buttons to break her free. Considering that Samus is capable of surviving the temperature of SPACE without freezing, the freeze attacks that do slow her down have to be incredibly cold, colder than anything Boba Fett has available. And even then the freezing is just a slow down. AND even if the freezer is colder than space she could just blow her way out of it with a missile!

That is impressive, but it sounds like he merely survived Darth Vader and didn't outright beat him.
Go with the person who fought and killed Jedi's during the Great Purge. Also Wookiees.
Killing Wookies isn't impressive right now. Samus could gun down boatloads of Wookies. She's used to fighting giant monsters, heavily armored pirates, and parasites that drain life itself. And wasn't Fett a little kid during the Great Purge?
Go with the person who survived three trips down the throat of a Sarlaac (only one aside from Zorba known).
If Samus was swallowed by a Sarlaac, she would roll into a ball, drop a bomb, and get spit out. This is a tactic she regularly uses on monsters very similar to the Sarlaac.
Go with the person who can actually survive cold temperatures.
As I said before, Samus has floated around in space without dying. She also regularly walks around in volcanoes. Temperature is not a problem for her when she's at full power.
Go with the person who led an army against the Vong.
You got me there. As far as I know, Samus has never led an army. She usually just takes on entire planets full of hostile alien warriors
by herself.

Boba Fett has the Slave 1 on remote. He could easily call it in to even the odds against Samus if he felt it was necessary. He has done this on multiple occasions.
Like I said, Samus also has a ship she can call in. In Metroid Prime 3, she uses it to blast apart huge rock and metal barriers. Her ship at least matches the Slave 1.

Seriously, how man y men are as feared as him throughout the galaxy?
Maybe Fett's the scariest guy in a galaxy populated by Jar Jar Binks and teddy bear tribes, but Samus comes from a place where there are aliens powerful enough to contaminate entire planets with radioactive material, and she kills them by herself.
