Or could that be Quiet, since she was refered by Hideo Kojima himself as the main heroine of the game, and thus, portraying Big Boss as the protagonist villain? Personally I don't think Skull Face will be the main villain (and also kinda hope he won't be), because he sort of lacks certain unspecified feeling, that all main MGS villains have had (maybe it's that he lacks feeling of the kind of special connection to protagonist) and falls more into the same category with Volgin and Zadornov as the sort of "James Bondian" baddies, that are more or less a mayor threat in the game they appear in, but not quite the ultimate nemesis of it. At this point I don't really know who the final boss should be; quess Zero would be the most anticipated canditate, though i've know idea how that could be executed, as Zero is obviously not match for Big Boss as a soldier and besides he's about 75 years old in Phantom Pain. Somehow I also have hard time picturing him as a Metal Gear pilot.

As far as the boss fights in general go, I assume we're gonna fight Quiet at some point, and I really wish Eli is gonna be boss as well, just cause that would be interesting due to his character (that pretty much all of us assume to be you-know-who and if so, he'd obviously want to fight against Big Boss by the end of the game) and out of mere curiosity to see how they would execute a bossfight like that. Be warned, as this will contain spoilers:

Actually, Skull Face implies that he knew Big Boss from an unspecified time period in some of Chico's tapes.
