Why are comic fans (not generalizing,some comic fans are pretty swell) assuming feats like lifting strength or traveling speed can be helpful to one in combat?
'Cause that's how it works in the comics. That's the simplest answer.
Plus, it's easier to quantify and see who is superior in a certain stat. Since the images are static, we can't see who punches faster than whom(except in rare cases, like the Flash and similar characters), so their strength values are generally used to determine who hits harder.
