You're missing the entire point. YES, in the real world, Popeye is just beating up on a regular guy. But Popeye doesn't LIVE in the real world. For him, he's beating the shit out of a GOD.

And no, again, you're missing the point. The animator DIDN'T let him regenerate. Pops became stronger than the one who created him, that's what makes it such an impressive feat of reality-warping.
