What I'm getting is that the two have fairly similar speeds. One may be faster than the other, but it's not like one of them is going to be leaving the other as a statue. It's not Zoom vs Flash, where he's casually batting Flash away one handed, for example. More like two human boxers fighting each other.
It then goes down to strength and durability. Skills are....a wash as well, as they're being limited to boxing.
So you can post a scan which clearly states that they are using supermans super senses and reaction and WW knowledge of magic which has absolutely nothing to do with who is faster and it still gets accepted by fans, yet a scan which directly tell us who is faster in reflex speed gets dismissed because fans don't like the answer. Then scans that deceive and have context gets accepted to aid superman also gets accepted without question?? This is rich.
if she is faster (and I leave that to other people to argue), it's not by much.
Her reflex speed edge, if we go by the JLA scan, is due to muscle memory.
OP however has restricted it to boxing. Like asking someone who is fluent in ten languages, to suddenly start rapping in French. Yes, they can do it,and yes, they can do it well.....but by suddenly stopping her from using elbows, knees, wrestling moves,joint locks etc, purely for brawling....her muscle memory is liable to get her disqualified with illegal moves.
ESPECIALLY if her edge is based on her acting without thinking. Throw a punch at her,she counters with a hip throw.... disqualified.
Grab Superman's elbow and twist? Disqualified.
Headbutt? Disqualified.
Moreover, he still has his travel speed edge. In a boxing ring, he can do what Phildo showed in his very first scan....one second he's behind, the next, in front of her, then behind again, etc etc.
Of course, she can counter this by backing herself into a corner so that he can't get behind her....but it's not exactly a wise move lol.
WW isn't faster in any sense of the word. The stuff Batman says just ends up not making sense in the end. Yes, even Batman says stupid shit from time to time. We see he can blur across the room and slap WW away before she can react.

Wow! The bracelets didn't break, WW didn't die, WW was holding back, Batman gets accused of lying but other statements by characters gets accepted if it helps superman??? There's nothing more for me to say on this.
She doesn't need to be looking, she knew he was there.
As for the rest, if the implication is supposed to be Batman is somehow correct in his statements about speed with regard to Wonder Woman and Superman: nope, he's not, and yup: Supes is faster than Wonder Woman.

*squints at tiny phone screen* Who wins a boring match between Superman and Wonder Woman..?
Points to the Op for brutal honesty.

Really? Lol. I could have and still can tell you about those and future prints before they hit the stores. But as always, proof is in the pudding. Fact. Superman and Thor will battle again soon in another cross-over and will be put down by a hammer strike but it won't be easy. I told you ahead of time. Now wait and see.😉
You ask why have Wonder Woman on the team? Bro, I don't know what magic world you live in, but where I live...sandwiches just don't make themselves. Someone has to put in the love and care into creating them.
Plus who wants a team with a bunch of dudes? Nobody, that is who. Well maybe Robin does, but most don't.

The whole WW having faster reflexes than Superman due to muscle memory was only stated as far as I know by ONE writer. Other than that 99% of the writers say Superman is faster.
You can take ONE or TWO or THREE statements an try to change the whole canon comic book story, but IMO that will be ignoring 90 % of canon comic book history.
Now onto the topic. Like DS said WW has been handicapped here.
Not only Superman did learn boxing from wild cat, but WW is more of a MMA fighter.
Top that with Superman being stronger, Faster and more durable and this is a no match.
IIRC WW has won less than 30% of their canon fights and that was due to extenuating circumstances.
