While I'm a fan of the Surfer, I have to give a majority to SPB. Surfer has had trouble with characters who, while having impressive physical strength, were not anywhere near SPB's level of punching through dimensions. Now, the Surfer does have more variety in his power set, but I do not know if he would have time in the fight to use his more exotic abilities as Superboy Prime has speedblitzed Flashs.
Slightly off topic, the Hulk wouldn't have any chance against SPB even in a strictly h2h fight. Much weaker characters (Namor and Iron Man immediately come to mind) have been able to K.O. the Hulk before he grew too strong.
And then Kon resurrects momentarily, and bloodies him again......And all across the world, comicbook fans scratch their heads and ponder the inconsistencies.
Truly, nothing i've seen has shown that Superboy can actually touch Surfer if he uses his speed. Surfer is the fastest hero in DC and Marvel, barring none and by a good measure.
He is stronger than him yes, but if he can't punch him, what good does the muscle do??
And could he use kryptonite on him?? PC kryptonians practically had their throats close if in near proximity to the stuff.
I realize that the same kind of K'nite he would use on Superman would be useless, but since he has cosmic awareness, and can scan dna makeup like he did to Gladiator and Hulk, couldn't he simply replicate the precise variety of k-nite that SBP maybe dangerously weak too??
And then punch him??
I then predict that Surfer knocks his head off, ala Pantha style.

Though I think that SBP is going to win more times than not, Surfer could always tie his life force to the Moon.
Doubtful. The guy punched his way of of the phantom zone. He wasn't even supposed to have powers in there...he should have been in a wraithlike state.
SBP does not seem to follow logical rules.
