The question is stupid because he likely can't punch it back. I agree with GSM. Deflecting it is obviously more impressive.
Raditz can’t punch it back?

No. Hence why he blocked it.Raditz can’t punch it back?
No. Hence why he blocked it.
Why do fighters block if they can tank?Why didn’t he deflect it then?

Because they can't tank or don't want to get dusted.Why do fighters block if they can tank?
So Post Rosat Ssj Trunks can't tank Future 18's blast?Because they can't tank or don't want to get dusted.
Which blast?So Post Rosat Ssj Trunks can't tank Future 18's blast?
Just look what Kikoho did to Nappa.Masenko did no damage and nothing tops an Enraged Gohan's full power. Despite Kikoho failing, Piccolo still thought Gohan would be the one to defeat the Saiyans.
So that definitely can't work.
Did Gohan's Masenko in the Saiyan Arc have a lower multiplier compared to later Arcs?
I think you're omitting the fact that deflecting the Masenko made it so that it didn't detonate on Nappa because had it detonated, his hand would have sustained even more damage. I think Nappa could stop it with his hand but he would have suffered moderate damage from that.Ki blasts don’t bounce off like basketballs do. They land and blow up.
Deflecting is more impressive than blocking. Blocking you’re just neutralizing the force, deflecting you’re not only neutralizing but adding force in the other direction.
I can't go any lower than that with Piccolo.
Vegeta telling him that he shouldn't take the attack.
Oh yeah, guess it didn't. I misremembered. The point still remains the same. Deflecting the attack allowed him to mitigate the damage because if he took it directly, it would've detonated right on him. From a defensive standpoint, tanking it like Raditz did against Goku's Kamehameha would be more impressive. That's why the most impressive feats are tanking feats and not strictly deflecting feats.That didn’t happen though.
