Extremely weakened. Why even bring that up?

Yeah beat him soundly. No hint or sign of a significant struggle for Surfer. His powers were simply far greater.

Superman has toyed with Kyle despite Kyle having back-up from some of the JLA, and took-on an all-out Kyle(his id construct) during the time I believe he was amped on his way to becoming Ion, and won.
That's cool. Supes is awesome 👆

LOL Surfer solidily beat him. What more do you want? You want Surfer to dance around Kyle, laughing at him, taunting him, then stomping him?
Not really in Surfer's character to do that. A simple win is good enough for him.

Surfer was one-shot owned by Darkseid, Superman's poor showings against the Omega Beams still come off looking better. And I don't see the point in trying to defend Surfer that he was sneak attacked, considering it basically melted his skin. Superman comes-out looking better.
LOL It WAS a Cheap Shot! Shot him from behind, he wasn't expecting it or anything like it.
If Surfer knew who he was and that he was fighting him, he could use his forcefields, attempt to outfly the OE, Attempt to absorb them, Fire back with his own Power Cosmic. Not all of those things would have worked, but he didn't get a chance to defend himself at all in that scene.
So why bring it up?
And despite all these facts about these fights, Surfer is much more powerful now than he was then.

We saw how the Superman/Thor ended. Surfer has a terrible record against Thor. Superman comes out looking better.
Their last fight (first one since Surfer's amp) they came across as peers. So doesn't really matter Superman "just barely" beat Thor out.

Surfer only stalemated Cyborg-Superman. Superman has a number of wins over him, including owning Cy worse than Surfer beat Orion. Superman comes out looking better here.
Cool, but Surfer only fought Cyborg once, in an unfinished fight, and again is much more powerful since then.

Surfer was overwhelmed by Parademons. Superman isn't bothered by them, and in fact a powerless amnesic Superman came-out looking better against Parademons than Surfer. Superman looks better here.
Ok. And Surfer grew Metropolis back to size which just shocked Superman into Awe of his power. Superman was also in Awe of the Power Cosmic when he was given it by Galactus.

Even without going into the context of the Superman/Orion fights you refer to, you don't really want to go this route as Superman has the better record over common opponents as far as I'm aware.
I personally wouldn't go down that route. Especially since using the Marvel/DC Crossovers are against the rules here (and rightly so IMO).
I blame Abhi though, he always brings them up.
People need to realize there's too much politics involved in cross company crossovers.

So if you're going to argue that, I assume you'll accept Thor basically saying Superman is stronger than Kurse, Odin, Mangog, Surtur, ect? Also, Superman definitely didn't speed-blitz in their fight. But if you agree Superman was shown faster while NOT speed-blitzing, I wonder how you'd handle Superman actually speed-blitzing Thor.
Well some of those people can also stop Mjolnir, as has Count Nefaria so that doesn't really say much. All it really showed was that Superman was Stronger than Thor, which shocked the heck out of Thor.
Superman did use his speed to dodge one of Thor's strikes, and landed more close combat hits than Thor as well. So perhaps the reason he didn't give Thor the traditional speed blitz was because he couldn't? Can be difficult with Lightning Blasts coming all over the place, and fighting someone who himself is hardly slow himself (able to throw punches in mere microseconds and consistently react to Lightspeed attacks.).
But seriously forget these Crossovers. It could actually be in reality that Superman is 5 times stronger than Thor, but they have to be shown more equal than that in a crossover. Or it could be that they are more or less peers but Thor should beat Superman due to the Magic factor (like both Simonson and Jurgens claim), but with the crossover DC want their poster boy Heavyweight to beat Marvel Earth's heavyweight no questions asked. Too much politics there so should rightfully be ignored IMHO.
