Yep. It just won't help him with lifting etc.

You'd have to prove that flight in and of itself increases his strength.Not velocity or momentum, but flight itself, and there's no proof that it does.

My post was more akin to a person.No one would agree to be a human ballistic in order to destroy an object moving at tremendous speed unless said person was confident that he will be able to destroy said object with a punch.Man in a rocket or man shot in a canon vs a speeding semitruck=a man being a bloody smear in front of a semitruck because he isn't durable or strong enough to punch a semitruck.So even if Hulk was aided, he would still need to be durable and strong enough to punch an asteroid twice the size of the earth.Which Hulk accomplished BTW.

Without Flight, Superman would be dangling in space the way the Hulk did at one time.However I would say that Superman's feats of moving objects in space involves more powers than just one.I would say strength,speed,durability and flight.Of all this 4, flight would be the most important.

Pretty much.
Superman CAN amp his punches with flight. His flight has been proven to provide forward force (like moving planets) and carrying heavy things. And since he doesn't use flight when lifting things while standing on the ground we can say that flight can only aide and amp Superman when he is carrying or moving things in flight.
But since flight is part of Superman's power set then for all practical purposes he can use it to amp his punches in any fight. So it's irrelevant and moot to the discussion whether flight amps his punches or not. Thor can use Mjolnir when he fights, it amps his strikes. So what?
As far as this thread goes, on average, Superman probably punches a little harder than Hulk. But at their best (no sun amp) WBH probably wins, unless you want to use time-space shit (I don't).
