At this point, Darkseid has jobbed to Superman so many times that it should be considered as his average.
Twice?
The Byrne thing was kind of jobbing, but it wasn't a fight to the finish.. And as I recall, Byrne even claimed he shortchanged Darkseid, as he's the guy who wrote some of Darkseids greatest feats in Jack Kirby's Fourth World.
Hell, Byrne had Darkseid take out Surfer, and impress Galactus with his Omega Effect, even though it didn't take him out.

Final Crisis doesn't really count, since it wasn't even Darkseids original body.
Or if you're talking about when Byrne had Supes knock Darkseid down with a few punches, that wasn't really a loss as we never got to see the end of the fight.
The amount of damage Supes did to Darkseid is equivilent with what PC Superman did to PC Mongul.. Only, Mongul had a chance to get back up and show Supes how it's done...

I count four times. And he was beating that ass in Countdown To Final Crisis #49. Would've won if Darkseid didn't pussy out.
It's actually five if you count Final Crisis.
So we're using Crossovers now?

We're not using crossovers. I'm assuming one of the losses you're counting is the one Byrne wrote in Action. My point is despite penning Darkseids initial "loss" to Superman, he also wrote that crossover and thought highly enough of Darkseids power to have Galactus compliment 'Seid on how powerful he is, if not powerful enough to defeat him, along with one shotting Surfer. As a crossover it's not proof in and of itself, but it does give an indication of where Byrne places Darkseid on the power totem.
So what are all four losses than?
