As was Zack and ever other member Soldier. It still makes little sense honestly.

Zack was physically stronger than Cloud and pretty much everyone else other than Sephiroth. What the story of FFVII is trying to portray is that that strength derived from Zack's confidence. Zack lost that Confidence while facing Sephiroth, he was his mentor and friend. Cloud had to face him himself as he was now overwhelmed with rage and fury (Seph hit Tifa). He obtained the confidence to face Sephiroth and wounded him badly.
The seens of Cloud vs Sephiroth in the flashbacks are also metaphors for the struggle between JENOVA and the PLANET. Jenova is a parisite that feeds off of the living. The Planet, even while weakened, will defend itself from a much greater force.
Greatness Awaits
