Imo it is stupid to think that someone who can fly and navigate at ftl speeds is somehow incapable of using those same skills for throwing a punch... But most of supes fight occur where fighting or moving at ftl speeds would endanger people, so he can't. Anyways, it is just my opinion on the matter, and I don't want to debate it.
Traveling space means nothing because their is no gravity to hold anything back. Superman admits this when Doomsday was on the moon. He said due to there being no gravity on the moon, it wouldnt take Doomsday no time to cover it, thats why he took off so fast after doomsday.
Writers have also stated this, thats why we ask for ftl combat speed because of course a person can travel pretty fast across space, hell classic rogue has done this alongside surfer. Vulcan has done this, Super skrull has done this, thor has done this, Beta Ray bill has done this, Ms. Marvel has done this. Even Ironman has flown to the sun and back in a couple of panels. Space flight=sh** and if its a indication of someone being able to fight at the speed of light then that means that half of dc and marvel has this ability.
