Best examples of timing negating speed.

actually tyson was faster than them

 

I highly recommend Basilio-Robbie 1. Good timing indeed from both guys. Forgot how skillful the fight was.

Well, yeah. He beat them mainly on timing though. His whole strategy was timing then punish during his prime.

 

Duran-Leonard I. Tyson was definitely faster than Tucker at that point, though Biggs is another story.

 

This.

 

In my opinion Hamed was not faster than Barrera. If you look at the fight closely, you can see Barrera has faster hands. And he always landed first because of his more technical, disciplined, straight approach to boxing. While Hamed tried his usual moves, Barrera hit him with super fast combinations behind a high guard while Hamed tried his wide shots.
