As someone who has knocked out (and had his arse whipped by hitting a Co worker) I suggest you let him win the battle and you strive to win the war.

When dinosaurs roamed the Earth I wrote a kinda sorta technical computer program in BASICA, which was all we had for PCs at the time. Source code only, because BASICA wouldn't compile an executable. Douchebag down the hall imagined himself to be a programmer and was always bugging me for pointers on how to do the simplest stuff. One day he asks me how to throw up a splash screen when a program started, making text out of the weird upper-end characters of the ASCII character set. So I show him. Three days later guys are showing me this great new program he had "developed" that started off with

Of course I was livid to start with, because both of us were fairly new and I figured people would actually think he had done the work. But I held my tongue and it worked out as soon as people started asking him technical questions that he had absolutely no idea how to answer. He moved on to a different job within a year.

My dad had a situation at work years ago that was similar to yours. Sorry if this gets long. It has a good ending.
Dad was a young piping designer at BE&K. He came up with an idea that he thought would allow a significant decrease in the required size of hydraulic pumps. This would mean lower operating costs for customers.
He went to his immediate supervisor and pitched his idea. The guy said something to the effect of "just do what you're paid to do and leave the thinking to us".
Dad then asked an older more experienced coworker what he thought of the idea. The man thought about it and said that it could be a stroke of genius but he wondered why no one else had ever thought of it. He suggested that my dad go and re-crunch his numbers to look for flaws. Dad did this and discovered that his idea wouldn't work because of a loss of pressure head due to some blah blah blah.
Fast forward a little. The big wigs in the company are holding a staff meeting. Dad, the older coworker and my dad's supervisor are in attendance along with several other people.
One of the big wigs asked if anyone had anything to contribute. My dad's supervisor says "I've come up with a great idea about how to reduce the required size for hydraulic pumps. It will save customers huge amounts." Then he goes on explaining my dad's idea while my dad just sits there listening.
The big wigs seemed very impressed until my dad says "It won't work and I'll tell you why". He then goes on to explain the flaws in the idea. My dad came across as a genius while his backstabbing supervisor looked incompetent.
When the meeting let out, the older coworker came over, slapped my dad on the back and burst out laughing.

I wanted to everyday when I worked in a big corporate office. The backstabbing and arse kissing was an everyday occurrence there, and the environment was toxic. I hated every minute of it.

Go ahead and punch him. It worked for my dad. He punched a coworker when we lived in North Carolina and the company realized they needed both men so the promoted my dad and we moved to Nashville
