Red-tailed Boa-Boa constrictorThe Boa constrictor is a large snake, although only modestly sized in comparison to other large snakes such as the reticulated and Burmese python, and can reach lengths of anywhere from 1–4 meters (3–13 feet) depending on the locality and the availability of suitable prey.[4] There is clear sexual dimorphism seen in the species, with females generally being larger in both length and girth than males. The boa constrictor is a heavy bodied snake, with large specimens reaching weights of up to 27 kg, or 60 pounds. VSPapuan Python-Apodora papuana A large snake, with adults growing to lengths of over 5 m (17 feet). However, they are not nearly as heavy bodied as other pythons, weighing in at no more than about 22.5 kg (50 lb). They are noted for having the ability to change color, though the exact mechanism and reasons for it are not completely understood, they can vary from black to a mustard yellow, but are normally an olive green in appearance when young and dark olive when older, with the sides and underside distinctly lighter.

As far as temperament is concerned I have heard that the Papaun python is the more placid of the two. I have not experienced this first hand as this species is exceedingly rare to collectors, however I do have a red-tail who is a bit defensive. I wouldn't label her as aggressive though.

Boas tend to be bulkier and more robust than Python - so at parity I would favour it.

Red tailed boas don't impress me that much, but this python seems thin and small. I'm not sure, I think that the boa wins this.

According to Wild Cats of the world, on page 111, one case of adult ocelot been killed by Boas have documented, but the case is not too well documented in the book, and I also thinks that fighting an cat is completely different form fighting an Snake, so decision have not been made yet.

Here's that case of an adult ocelot being found in the stomach of an adult boa. From pope's book^

Another stalemate. Neither can kill the other without dying themselves.
