Who can name some?

I think Golovkin and Kovalev often fight guys who move faster, but they compensate for it with good timing and punch selection.
 
Cotto/Mosley
Brook/Porter
Maidana/Broner
 
I think a great recent example is Lamenchenko vs. Russell
 
I agree.. I think the op meant outboxing and not just overwhelming the opponent with brutality...


Chavez vs. Camacho was an outboxing by a slower guy..
 
Kotelnik vs Devon Alexander
 
Bernard Hopkins vs ODLH, Taylor (he outfoxed him, just didn't outwork him), Pascal and a bunch ofmother guys.
 
Marquez outboxing the faster manny in all 4 of their fights
 
Porter isn't faster & neither was he outboxed. He lost a very close MD.



Maidana was just too strong & powerful. Broner wasn't outboxed.

I'll give you and Sinister Maidana. Fair enough.

But I didn't think the Porter/Brook fight was close.
 
Morales vs Pacquiao 1. Morales was significantly slower and boxed him up pretty good.

Porter was thoroughly outboxed by Brook, but I wouldn't say Porter is faster.

Amir Khan was not outboxed by Garcia, he was boxing Danny's face off then he got knocked out.
 
The Mosley/Forrest and Mosley/Wright fights could count. I was thinking Khan/Kindelan at the '04 games might count, as well, though, Kindelan was very fast himself.
 
A lot of examples given here aren't really guys being "outboxed." I don't think Danny Garcia outboxed Khan, he just knocked the shit out of him.
