Not throwing out valid examples.
Going by what's both logical AND by comic history.
Why logical?
Unlike Superman, Superboy Prime didn't grow up using his powers.
He grew up as a human boy. Wasn't until about 16 or so that his powers kicked in. Till then he spent life at human pace with human perceptions. He's not some lifelong disciple of the speed force, like one of the Flashes or even Sodam Yat.
SBP's character has all but supreme arrogance, rarely observes convention according to any real strategy, he generally gets in people's faces, mocks them, tanks their best, retaliates, then dares them to come back at him.
I don't think I've seen Prime so much as DUCK on the printed page on this point, let alone perform a Muhammad Ali clinic for someone.
You want to say Superboy Prime superspeeds so he gets the win.
I agree, IF Superboy Prime superspeeds at max potential, he gets the win against this team, at least more often than not.
But that's simply not what Prime does.
It's not how he fights, it's not even how he THINKS to fight.
It's only when a particular battle is OVER, or someone has put the fear of God into him, that Prime stops fighting and then behaves wantonly.
The exception is when he is going against people who possess superspeed and have first used it against him.
Let me help you out: You MAY be able to make a case for Prime speeding against Sodam Yat, a Daxamite with Kryptonian powers, operating as a Green Lantern.
Who himself was fighting intensely, presumably at speed.
At the end, dizzy from the punches and attacks, head swimming, Yat tells us that Prime's attacks become a blur.
Let's take that literally. Let's say it's NOT Yat simply being portrayed on the verge of consciousness, with everything coming too hard and too fast for him as he slips away, common for any fighter going down.
PRESUMING Yat himself did not make use of speed, which is a pretty big presumption, going by your brand of logic, that would be exactly ONE instance of Prime doing that in a fight unprovoked.
THAT one, I give YOU as Exhibit "A".
Now.
Where are your other "blatantly obvious" cases?
