That seems hyperbolic to me. Not even Stormtrooper armor, which Michael Wong has shown to be quite protective, can soak up a direct hit from a blaster. It isn't as if Canderous can sit there and let Boba shoot him.
I'm not saying that Canderous' armor is just going to absorb every single hit (Although lord knows how good it really is. I haven't played the game in awhile), but it does offer full body coverage which is a plus. Also, Canderous is pretty damn experienced and a good scrapper. And lastly his weapon of choice is pretty useful. He can lay down a blanket of fire while Boba has to either hope he kills him in the first carbine/rocket shot or try and fly up and avoid the spray. Realistically, in an open setting, I don't see Boba having much of an advatange.

Hmmmm. I think the jetpack decides this one. That and ALL the gadgets we don't know about in his pants/belt/body/face anywhere. Slim chance for Boba but i'm not sure so i agree that the Jetpack is the deciding factor.
well in open space he would still be easily hit by Canderous his heavy repeating blaster. You try avoiding fire from a thing like that..

In the Mandelorian wars perhaps? Where he was a general one of Mandalore his captains and one of the greatest champions the Mandelorians had. Mandelorian champions killed Jedi... It was their job, besides I think that Canderous (although I'm not sure) said something about him killing Jedi in Kotor II.

Killing Jedi during a war and killing Jedi one-on-one are two different feats. We don't laud battle droid #436737 for offing a Jedi at Geonosis.
The big difference here is: Canderous was outnumbered and did so with a sword.
Random battle droid #436737 outnumbered the Jedi with his friends and used a blaster...

What, Fishy? Out of which left field did this assumption about the circumstances under which Canderous killed a Jedi come from?

Everything that is said in Kotor... The Mandelorians used Energy shields making it necessary for people to fight in melee combat. In the cave on Korriban we see the republic soldiers run towards the Mandelorians to engage in Melee combat.
We know that the Republic outnumbered the Mandelorians and we know that Jedi served as front line generals and warriors and we know that a lot of Jedi were killed.
So we have
1.) Outnumbered Mandelorians
2.) A lot of Melee fights
3.) Jedi in those fights.
4.) A lot of Jedi being killed during the war fighting Mandelorians.
Logical conclusion, Mandelorians have killed Jedi in Melee fights, especially the greater one's who were known Jedi killers.

Fishy, the point is you're assuming that those are the circumstances under which Canderous killed a Jedi. You can't prove that, especially when you consider that those circumstances did not persist throughout the entire war. Not every battle was the same.
The 4 points I managed were described in every fight however.
Energy shields were used throughout the entire war, melee fights happened throughout the entire war, Jedi were killed throughout the entire war, logically the Mandelorians would have been outnumbered at almost every battle there was especially when Revan got control of the army's. And Canderous was one of the highest ranking Mandelorians out there... He would have fought and killed Jedi, of course not all of them in Melee fights but he would have done so to at least a few.

Sorry, no. By the very nature of war, that's impossible. Not every battle is fought the same way. That's like claiming the battle on Mygeeto was fought like the battle of Geonosis. Ergo, your assumptions that those are the conditions under which Canderous killed a Jedi are just that - assumptions.

Of course not every battle...
But why would the republic soldiers be trained in Melee fights if there was only one Melee fight?
Why would they run at the Mandelorian soldiers if there guns would be more effective (not to mention they went through a mine field to get there)
Why would Malak who was a fighter be described as one that turned the tide of battles if he wans't fighting on the front line.
Why would all the Jedi be described in the same way only lesser if they didn't?
Why would the Mandelorians carry around swords if they were not going to use them?
In most ground battles Jedi, republic soldiers and Mandelorians fought in Melee combat.

Were all indeed trained to fight melee? Can you provide proof?
Why would they run at the Mandelorian soldiers if there guns would be more effective (not to mention they went through a mine field to get there)
Are we considering perhaps that the Mandalorians were behind cover of some kind?
Why would Malak who was a fighter be described as one that turned the tide of battles if he wans't fighting on the front line.
Oh, I don't know. Perhaps because he was a Jedi of reasonable strength and tactical skill.
Why would all the Jedi be described in the same way only lesser if they didn't?
I never said melee fights didn't happen. Surely, Jedi were front-line generals in the Clone Wars too. And?
(Side note: Have these idiots ever heard of tanks?)
Why would the Mandelorians carry around swords if they were not going to use them?
Japanese samurai in the Tokugawa period were still required to carry their katanas even though it was a peaceful time.
Hell, infantry now still carry combat knives. I didn't say that melee fights didn't happen, but your assumption that that was all that happened is an erroneous one. Using your logic, I could merely ask why the Republic soldiers still carried blasters.
In most ground battles Jedi, republic soldiers and Mandelorians fought in Melee combat.
Prove up.
