Hypothetical Question: Who has the better career: Boxer 1 or Boxer 2?

[Sakuraba is #1]

Boxer 1: Doubles his strength the last 10 seconds of every round.

or

Boxer 2: Full stamina at the beginning of every round.

Both boxers are the same age (20) and equally skilled fighters. Who would have the better career?

I think the double strength boxer would have a better overall career in terms of wins and championships. I'd be a defensive fighter like Mayweather every round, dodging and clinching just to keep the damage I take low, then spend the last ten seconds of every round methodically working the other guy's body and then throw in some haymakers. The double strength boxer would need to keep the fight within 3 rounds because time isn’t on his side due to fatigue. Double the punching power is a cheat code.

Whichever one isn't managed by Don King.

wouldn't double strength be enough to insta kill pretty much anyone ?

Yeah, it’s a curse. I had to register my fists as lethal weapons.

What the hell does double strength mean? Like actual strength for lifting? It helps sure but it's not a huge game changer in boxing. And double strength would be insane. Going from let's say a 100kg squat to 200kg would be an insane improvement.

If you mean punching power that would be a huge game changer but he still has to be able to land it. If it's cardio it won't matter much in the last 10 seconds of a round.

without putting much thought into it I'm going to say full stamina to start each round. Having trained that's usually where I find I need more, not in the power dep.

Both get knocked out by Jake Paul

Depends on what baseline of cardio/stamina you give the super strong guys.

If their baseline is like this, then doubling the strength each round as they start each round ever more exhausted, is not going to really help them much, outside that one shot chance.

Great stamina/cardio will win most times over strength and skill advantages, unless that person is caught early and finished.
