No debate there. But like I said, there's no much of reason for him to either. Look at it this way, Superman can punch, and eye beam people. His options are a little limited. The Surfer on the other hand unleashes massive amounts of energy which is his primary attack. (the same reason Dr. Strange doesn't punch very often either...there's no need to).
I have a question for everyone who thinks Superman can punch faster than the SS. Can Superman punch faster than Galactus, since we've never seen the big G punch fast?
First I would like to say that I never said that supes was unhittable, I am one of the peeps that argue against the speed that people quote him being capable of moving/fighting at BUT he is faster than Surfer and there is so much proof backing this up. His fight against doomsday rex or equus is proof of this.
Lol... at you using galactus as an aid for the surfer. Again, we go by what is shown on panel, not by what we "think" because if we went by our thoughts of characters, I would enjoy creating wolverine into my own, personal, high herald.
No because galactus thunder clapped beta ray bill, someone that kept up with surfer and stardust, he squashed bill before bill got the chance to react. He slapped around tyrant, someone that fought surfer along with a couple of other heralds and didn't get a glove laid n him but galactus kept pace with him. Galactus fought tenebrous and only got hit once whereas surfer was punched, blasted and then punched through a moon by tenebrous.

and i believe even ironman has shown femto-second processing speed. just because one can process info that quickly does not equate to moving so quickly. i've not seen ss do that. IM's processing speed>ss's?
based on evidence? superman
based on common sense? i'd say ss could likely do more. maybe...
As for the comparison of their general speeds, they have similar thought and reaction speeds, SM has much better h2h superspeed (superhuman agility and body movement coordination) and SS has much better deslocation speed.
