They probably are. High-end TOR-era armor and shields can take lightsaber hits, flamethrowers can fill entire rooms in a single burst (and have a range 3 times that of Fetts), the Champion has a portable carbonite spray (idfk) and dozens of tracking rockets. I'm not seeing a tech advantage for Fett.

Yeah, now that I think about it, you're right. In the video where the Sith invade the Republic, the female BH seemingly has weaponry almost identical to that of Jango or Boba.
"I see why they call you the best bounty hunter in the galaxy."
―Darth Vader
"Fett, you can teach me to bring down Jedi. You've done it often enough."
―Jaina Solo
"Curse Fett! He thinks he's real smart."
"He is smart, Bossk. That's why he's the best."
―Bossk and Zuckuss
"Jaina Solo is determined to bring her brother in, but in order to track him down, she must first learn unfamiliar skills from a man she finds ruthless, repellent, and dangerous."
-Revelation Backcover (Legacy of the Force)
"First, who cares? Unless Boba Fett is coming himself, we can handle a company of Mandos without getting our robes dirty."
-The Sword of the Jedi on a possible Jedi Temple Invasion
"The Best Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy"
-Star Wars.com Encyclopedia
"And now we have Boba Fett sniffing around the place? He's not someone you want to mess with alone."
-Darth Caedus's former apprentice, Tahiri Veila, on Boba Fett.
"Me and Fett killed an Abeloth avatar on Hagamoor 3..."
-Tahiri Velia on her and Boba's victory over an Abeloth body.

Speaking of which, what force users has Fett actually taken down?
He took down a pair of Palpatine's Dark Jedi in Dark Empire. He captured Rachi Sitra. But despite that line, that's all I can think of for actual wins.
The Champion won a competition where the best bounty hunters in the galaxy competed and beat them all. By defeating a Jedi Master who once killed over a hundred veteran mandalorians in a single battle. Boba Fett is called the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, but the Champion has literally been awarded the title of best bounty hunter.
On Taris the Champion was sent after a contender for Mandalore. He beat the guy despite being hit three times in the chest with a sniper rifle before the fight even started.
On Dromund Kaas the Hunter killed a massive darkside beast spawned from Vitiates darkness. Entire generations of Mandalorians had tried and failed to kill the thing.
On Nar Shaddaa he killed a strike team led by a Jedi who killed the previous Great Hunt victors. Thats right, the Champion is superior than the next 3 greatest Bounty hunters put together.
The Champion then went on to fight through a Jedi temple and killed Master Jun Seros, the freaking Battlemaster of the Jedi Order who had never been defeated previously. *
Either after or before that they then fought through The Supreme Guard and got into the position of being able to kill the Supreme Chancellor and claim the biggest bounty ever.
They then went on to kill the Sith Darth Tormen, a powerful Sith Lord who once blitzed a rival Sith Lord in a duel instantly.
* This is why Temp and the rest are full of shit. Oh yeah its totally PIS to kill a Force user! It must be triple PIS to fight through a ****ing temple of them and crap on one of their best fighters in a direct confrontation!
