Like any firearm, the skill of a particular fighting stye depends mostly on the person using it. Boxers are trained to strike the head and solar plexus in order to induce unconsciousness or, historically, death. It hasn't changed much doctrine-wise since the time of the early mediterranean cultures and in many cases, boxers have triumphed over other styles. Karate trains a fighter to use the fists, feet, elbows and knees to induce unconscious and/ or death. It has changed drastically depending on the culture that wraps its grubby little paws around it. In many cases, Karate has triumphed over other styles. the difference is in conditioning. Karate practicioners aren't trained to sustain repeated blows as boxers are. However, boxers are trained to deliver all of their attacks using one type of body part behind the safety of padded gloves. the question is: do you want to go through the severe conditioning of a boxer, or the less intensive, but technique focused conditioning of a Karate practicioner. (hint: the guy in better shape always wins)
