As you all know, 5.33 XP is gained for every 1 damage dealt; 4 XP going toward which ever combat skill was used to cause the damage, and 1.33 XP going toward Hitpoints.

After a bit of testing and calculating, I discovered a few Nightmare Zone bosses that provide anywhere between 5% and 17.5% more XP, though most attack with several different styles (melee, ranged, and magic).

These are the bosses that I found to provide more XP per damage in Rumbles (hard mode), while also ONLY attacking with melee:

Black Knight Titan (requires The Holy Grail quest and 31 Defence) - 5.6 XP per 1 damage dealt, a 5% XP increase.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE RANGED AGAINST THIS BOSS, MELEE ONLY; IT HAS OP DEFENCE OTHERWISE

Dad (requires Troll Stronghold quest and 1 Defence) - 5.86 XP per 1 damage dealt, a 10% XP increase.
*HAS A MELEE ATTACK THAT PUSHES YOU AROUND BUT DOES NOT WASTE COMBAT TIME/TICKS

Ice Troll King (requires The Fremennik Isles quest and 16 Defence) - 6 XP per 1 damage dealt, a 12.5% XP increase.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE RANGED AGAINST THIS BOSS, MELEE ONLY; IT HAS OP DEFENCE OTHERWISE
*HAS A RANGED ATTACK DURING THE QUEST, BUT NOT IN THE NIGHTMARE ZONE

Jungle Demon (requires Monkey Madness quest and 1 Defence) - 6.17 XP per 1 damage dealt, a 15% XP increase.
*HAS A MAGIC ATTACK DURING THE QUEST, BUT NOT IN THE NIGHTMARE ZONE

Because most of these bosses require quests that reward Defence XP, some of you won't be able to utilize this; however, all of the aforementioned quests can be completed without going over 39 Defence.

Here are the bosses that even pures can fight, in ascending order based on their Defence bonuses (weakest first, strongest last):

Count Draynor (requires Vampire Slayer quest and 1 Defence) - 5.33 XP per 1 damage dealt

The Kendal (requires Mountain Daughter quest and 1 Defence) - 5.33 XP per 1 damage dealt

Khazard Warlord (requires Tree Gnome Village quest and 1 Defence) - 5.33 XP per 1 damage dealt

Tree Spirit (requires Lost City quest and 1 Defence) - 5.33 XP per 1 damage dealt

Bouncer (requires Fight Arena quest and 1 Defence) - 5.33 XP per 1 damage dealt

Black Demon (requires The Grand Tree quest and 1 Defence) - 5.33 XP per 1 damage dealt

So yeah, for all of this, you only need some Overloads and Super restores/Prayer potions, use Protect from Melee prayer, and then throw on some decent gear to kick some ass in the Nightmare Zone for some easy XP gains.

Good luck, boys and girls!

PS - Of Old School RuneScape's player-base, 96% are male and 4% are female, according to Jagex's recent survey.

Here is a video somewhat better explaining it, though it does not include all the bosses that I tested and listed:
