DOS Doosmday is superfast because DOS Doomsday surprised Bryne-era Superman and Bryne-era Maxima. And Byrne-era Maxima is superfast because she fought Byrne-era Superman. Therefore, DOS Doomsday is superfast.
What you just did is exactly like me saying the following:
Savage Hulk is superfast because Savage Hulk surprised classic Thor and classic Silver Surfer. And classic Thor is superfast because he fought classic Silver Surfer. Therefore, Savage Hulk is superfast.
Prove Bryne-era Superman or classic Silver Surfer are superfast first. Then prove that when Bryne-era Maxima and classic Thor fought them, they clearly matched their superspeeds. Then prove that DOS Doomsday and Savage Hulk bested their superspeeds without relying on them being surprised by how their size belied their speed.
