Oh I get it, Superman is extremely strong, like a million times stronger than ordinary man.
BUT when he looses his power and becomes like an ordinary man, a drunk street-fighter guy in a bar challenges him, Superman (Clark) gets his ass beaten, not once, but twice in a row. He can't even hit back.
And later, when he gains his power back, he fights with 3 guy simultaniously, and it's a good fight, no one prevails.
But here is the thing; Now these 3 guys are again at the same strenght as Superman, plus that they are criminals, one of them even a general, so they know how to fight.
Superman here is in comparisment just like a norman guy would fight 3 normal guys.
So he can fight 3 well trained people at the same strenght at the same time, but can't even get one hit to a drunk looser bum in a bar?
Another thing which has no sense is that later Superman had to make a revenge to that drunk looser in a bar. But why? Now he is million times stronger than him again.
That's just like I would try to make a revenge to an ant. Even I wouldn't do it, not to mention Superman who should be a really honest and loving man without any desire to revenge of any kind. That completely throws him out of his character. -

Clark was inexperienced with being powerless whereas he was more experienced being super than the Phantom Zoners.
As for your second question, I have no problem with Clark humiliating that jerk. I'm not one of those people who expects Superman to be edgy and cool, but I don't expect him to be a total saint either. Rocky will live, and maybe from now one think twice about bullying and womanizing. And Superman used to beat up wife beaters so it's technically not out of character for him to rough up bad people.
