He probably does have the strength, he's capable of punching through a 3 meter tall Wampa's torso and kill a 4 meter tall Varactyl, ripping apart its armor plated skull.
Granted Vader does have some pretty insane durability, he tanked a kick to the head that sent him straight into a durasteel wall hard enough to cave it in without any damage. I know he has better durability feats, but I'm talking like H2H specifically.
This is probably gonna come down to would Vader's durability last him long enough vs Maul's skill/strength.

Well that's obviously Maul. Vader is more a brawler type, he's not a martial artist. Granted brawlers can take on martial artists, but feat wise, Vader doesn't have many where he goes fisticuffs.
He'd have to significantly compromise the armor. Taking out the respirator would probably be the best way to go about it, but even that is far from an insta-win.
I'm not confident that Maul has the h2h feats to suggest he could cause heavy damage to the armor in canon, but Legends Maul is a different animal.
But if you're just asking who has the better h2h skills in general, then it's definitely Maul in both continuities.

How about vader, already weakened from his fight with luke, throwing sidious over a cliff while tanking the full power of his lightning. Lightning that is far more powerful than than the landscape blazing shit we've seen from plagueis or the ship ****ing shit we've seen from SK.
I'm don't remember with vader's strength feats, but irrc he had showings where he dented ships.

In legends Vader was amped by light side energy when he tanked Sidious' lightning acording to Lucas.

This.
So Vader is not powerful enough to kill the Emperor, but he does so in a very unexpected way. He does it not out of thinking or fear. He does it out of the super energy of wanting to protect his son, out of compassion. Vader finally has compassion for his son and realizes that his life has been a sham.”
