I think Ace had to
solidify his body (meaning, not be made of fire) so that the fist wouldn't hit Luffy. If he'd made his body flame, the fist just would have gone through and hit Luffy.
But isn't he supposed to be intangible even if it's against his own wishes? (Except when sea stones come in to play,) as far as i know this isn't something he just activates when he feels like it.
This made me think of something and when I checked Klown is right. If you look at the end of 573 and then the first 2 pages of 574. You can tell that Ace is using his powers. Why the lava dudes fist did not just continue then, I don't know. But especially with 574 page 2 you can tell at the top that Ace has Fire around him. And you would assume that if he was on fire from the lava punch. That the rest of the chapter his body would be burnt or still burning at least. Instead of just where he was punched.
EDit: See how it seems as though flames are coming from ace and the lava guy is not touching him in that image.
