In a Jedi Quest book, pre-AotC Obi-Wan manages to slash down a missile while being peppered by blaster fire. I'd say Mace could do the same quite easily.
and if worst comes to worst, he'd turn to face the bounty hunters, pull a Dooku and kick Anakin into something, and Force push the Fetts' rockets back at them.

Yeah, but with Mace he's not being peppered by blaster fire but dueling Anakin. And also it's two missles, not one. If he tried to slash either down Anakin'd stab him while he was doing so.
Yeah, Anakin, a hot-headed teen who'd no sooner swing his lightsaber than get kicked out the room-length window.
Force push the rockets? Okay, even if that does work what will he do with the blaster fire that follows the rockets. Force push that, too? And he'd better get it over with quickly, before Anakin gets up and stabs him or just simply Force pushes him.
Hm, I don't know darthsith. He could, maybe use that giant purple glowstick of his to deflect the blaster bolts, but that's inconcievable, isn't it?
And yeah, actually, he probably could deflect the blaster bolts via the Force; Vader sure can.

I'm gonna have to say Mace loses this one.
Let's say he does indeed deflect all of Boba/Jango's lasers and rockets, the damage done to all of them is going to be pretty severe. I mean, they're in a small room and numerous rocket-explosions will damage all of them in one way or another. If Jango and Boba are smart about it, they can position themselves strategically in the room so that their own rockets only affect them slightly.
Also, keep in mind that the bounty hunters won't really care about Anakin's life very much, so they don't need to worry about friendly fire. Annie would last a good minute or two against Mace, which, in my opinion, is enough time for Jango/Boba to come up with a plan AND execute it. They're no slouches. Don't get me wrong, Mace could take either one of them one-on-one, and probably at the same time if they were located elsewhere (and without Anakin), but the two bounty hunters have a good deal of experience fighting Jedi, and they wouldn't hold back at all in such a battle.

Yoda has never been shown to do it. Doesn't neccessarily mean he can't.

If their own rocket wouln't effect them, would it effect the other?

This is just a guess on my part, but GL probably would have had Yoda (or anybody in that case) block or deflect blasters with the force. He doesn't because he wants to show that Vader has come very far with the force. (This is just a speculation on my part.)
Or mabey his suit prevented him from being hurt.

Of course, there's no official proof that Yoda can block laser bolts but all logical proof says he can.

I remember hearing somewhere that it wasn't the suit. Can't remember where, though.
It would be far more logical it if was then if it wasn't...
no Jedi has ever before as far as we know learned that technique, and i'm really not ready to believe Anakin is smart enough to learn how to do something like that when thousands of others could not.

So you think Mace is that much stronger than Dooku?
WTF does this have to do with Dooku?
No, but could he deflect blaster bolts and concentrate on his Force push at the same time? That'd be hard.
Hard, yeah. But considering Depa Billaba was able to deflect seven blaster bolts from an automatic turret right back thorugh a hole gives me the idea that Mace can pwn the bounty hunters -- and their rocket-packs -- with their own blasters. And unless Jango shoots at Mace while Boba bends over and blasts away with his rocket, the missile-blaster combo isn't going to happen.
Yeah, can block bolts from one blaster, not two blasters and a rifle while sending back two missles via the Force all at the same time.
Again; how are the Fetts going to bend over and launch rockets simultaneously, then spring up and blast away with their guns in the time it takes Mace to evade the rockets? No, I don't see that occurring.
EDIT: Btw people, Vader turns blaster bolts away from him with the Force in Dark Lord.
And Fishy, Vader blocked the attack in ESB with the Force, too. Why? Well, he can use it to block a lightsaber in DL. And we know he was using the Force, because in RotJ, his arm gets chopped off when his guard is down. So, his glove isn't quite lightsaber resistant.
