    JMM vs Manny Pacquiao, Winky Wright vs Shane Mosley, Danny Garcia vs Amir Khan, George Foreman vs Michael Moorer, B-Hop vs Jean Pascal all overcame huge gap in speed. There were many more fights. Add your examples

    Prescott, Garcia and Peterson weren't known for their speed either.

    To be completely honest, Morales Pacquiao I is a much more comprehensive and impressive display of timing beating speed than what Marquez did to Pac.

    Sure Marquez got the KO, but Pac was far slower in 2012 than he was previously.

    Duran Leonard I.

    Roberto consistently baited and landed on the faster Leonard.

    Pretty much any fight when someone with great timing goes up against someone with great speed. Give me timing any day over flashy, fast combos...
