All I can say is that I would never respect anyone who beat me, I would want to hit them back, and if I couldnt I would repress all my anger it would boil inside of me.
And really, how do logically tell someone "dont hit people, and I'm going to punish you for hitting someone, but hitting you."
If as an adult you assault someone, the ideal is not for the police to come and beat you up to teach you a lesson, it shouldnt be any different to kids, just because someone isnt 18 shouldnt make it ok to assault them.
And Im not saying just tell him not to do it and thats it, he needs to understand why it is wrong, someone needs to sit down with him and make him see that - someone who he respects. That is the way he will change his behaviour, like I said, if he hits a girl, so his dad hits him, what does it teach him, other than it is ok to hit people who are weaker than you?
