"The Mandalorian has emphasized the importance of a warrior keeping their helmet on, but perhaps even more so has revealed their religious attitude towards combat and hunting. Despite their violent nature and moral ambiguity, The Mandalorian has highlighted a certain code of honor among the people, best exhibited when Mando refuses to take credit for slaying a Mud Horn because Baby Yoda helped him in the battle by using the Force. Elsewhere, other Mandalorians within the hall show an explicit distaste for taking jobs from the Empire; a feud that dates back to their planet being forcibly placed under Imperial rule.


These cultural traits are in stark contrast to the methods and personalities both Boba and Jango Fett have exhibited in the Star Wars movies. The franchise's two most famous bounty hunters (for now, at least) not only have long, intrinsic ties to the Empire, but they're also both far more ruthless than Mando and his clansmen appear to be. The Mandalorians of the TV series have a code, in addition to the rules impressed by the bounty hunters' guild, however, the only restrictions Jango and Boba Fett operated alongside were those imposed by their employers and clients. Boba especially wasn't above using dirty tricks in battle and it's hard to imagine him turning down credit for a kill that was only partly his to claim. This disconnect proves that Boba and Jango Fett might've inspired the creation of the Mandalorians as part of the Star Wars mythology, but neither hold much in common with their visual counterparts in The Mandalorian."

The EU is a mess but IIRC Jango was simply a mercenary that left the Mandalorian sector and was eventually hired by the Empire to be the genetic base for the clone troopers. Boba/Jango were never really Mandalorians to begin with although the former inspired the Mandalorian lore. The race was even represented in the KOTOR games and SWG. The prequels basically removed any idea that Boba was a Mandalorian.
 
Just because you got your hands on a set of Mandalorian armor does not automatically make you a Mandalorian.
