Answer is, no, because you can't. To punch at these guys' level (through buildings etc) your fist will be moving at pretty decent speeds.
Yes and no. A haymaker is a very powerful blow, but it is very slow and cumbersome. A jab on the other hand is the fastest known punch to man, but it is not exactly a strong punch.
Velocity does have a big effect on the power of your punch, but force behind the punch is a bigger factor. Bigger, heavier people are usually able to deliver stronger punches than smaller people. Not because they punch faster, but because they put more weight (and thus force) behind their punch.
If we went with the logic that great punching strength = great speed then Hulk and Kurse would also have super speed.
