It is unlikely that a mere human without computational assistance could simulate someone in sufficient detail to reliably make one boxing the best option.

(Plausible, but then the mere human should have a low accuracy / discrimination rate. You can't have this and a high accuracy rate at the same time. Also in practice there are plenty of one-boxers out there.)
