It was made clear from the onset that winning was always going to be an uphill battle for Kong. Though the ape struck the first blow in Godzilla vs. Kong, it was demonstrated early on that Godzilla had him beat in a contest of raw power. His atomic breath put Kong at an even greater disadvantage.
Summary. Godzilla is the clear winner in the battles against Kong, showcasing his superior power and invincibility. Despite losing the fights, Kong still plays a crucial role in the story, defeating Mechagodzilla and earning the title of "King Kong".
The ending of King Kong vs. Godzilla is left ambiguous, as urban legend has it, the American version ends with Kong's victory, whereas in the Japanese version, Godzilla is the clear winner.
Godzilla's lost plenty of times. sometimes he's knocked out before he comes back to win or tie. His first ever defeat was to King Kong His next was to Mothra's twin larvae He went on a streak of either winning or tying (the ties to Rodan and Ghidorah) However, he finally experienced a defeat in his sec…
While Godzilla had more advantages and abilities, Kong still put up a solid fight against Godzilla, so I wouldn't consider him the weakest Titan. Kong gave it his all and while being severely injured still refused to submit, earning Goji's respect.

Why did Godzilla hate Kong?
Kong didn't bow before Godzilla like the other Titans did in King of the Monsters, and more than that, Kong is inherently a threat to Godzilla's kingship. Add that to the fact that Godzilla can feel Kong's every move with his planet-scoping power, and the ultimate battle between the two was completely unavoidable.
Godzilla had to resort to drowning to gain the upper hand on Kong, finally using his home turf advantage. We see the same thing with Ghidorah: he wasn't winning in Antarctica, so his second round was an ambush in the water. In the second fight, Kong held his own and even knocked out Godzilla briefly.
Instead, Godzilla acknowledged Kong as an equal and he returned to the sea. While it's impossible to know for sure what's in the hearts and minds of giant monsters, Kong apparently earned Godzilla's respect so the lizard left him alone.
Wiz: Both are extremely resistant and very durable, because both have resisted attacks that could make pieces to almost anyone, but just as in force, Godzilla wins in this aspect, because like the Hulk, this resistance and durability this force bonded with his wrath.
Mutual Respect: Kong's actions in coming to Godzilla's rescue during the battle with Mechagodzilla demonstrated his bravery and willingness to fight alongside Godzilla. This act of solidarity and teamwork earned Kong's respect and led Godzilla to spare his life [2].
But after he has won..." While producer Tomoyuki Tanaka stated in his 1983 and 1984 books, The Complete History of Toho Special Effects Movies, and Definitive Edition Godzilla Introduction that he believed the battle ended in a draw, Toho still maintains that Kong was the victor on their global website in 2023.
Kong's vastly greater size mean a bite force perhaps 100 times greater. For all this brute strength and power, Kong's greatest advantage is his intelligence.
SPOILERS FOR GODZILLA: THE PLANET EATER There is at least one monster which not only can kill Godzilla Earth, but has apparently killed numerous other Godzillas (and destroyed the planets they inhabited) and was very close to killing Godzilla Earth before being sabotaged. King Ghidorah (キングギドラ Kingu G…
After absorbing excessive amounts of radiation, Godzilla's powers were boosted to new heights. With his enhanced strength also came a surprising side effect, turning Godzilla's usual blue glow when he is powering up into a vibrant pink.
In the film, Kong clashes with Godzilla after humans move the ape from Skull Island to the Hollow Earth, homeworld of the monsters known as "Titans", to retrieve a power source for a secret weapon intended to stop Godzilla's mysterious attacks.
Wingard acknowledges Godzilla's fatigue from fighting Kong in both the director's commentary included on the home video release and in interviews, such as the one he had with Toho Kingdom. Plus, there's the matter of Godzilla's heavy use of atomic breath.
In Godzilla vs Kong, why did Godzilla let Kong live when he had Kong on the ground beneath his feet? Out of respect. Godzilla had Kong at his mercy and roars right in his face as a warning to surrender, and never challenge his rule.
In films that depict Godzilla as an aggressor, we rarely know why Godzilla is angry enough to invade Tokyo. Presumably, he is provoked by war, pollution, industrialization, and of course, the dropping of the A-bomb. Loud noises, bad smells, and humanity's general disregard for the natural world invoke his wrath.
Godzilla roars in acknowledgement and respect for Kong, seeing him as an equal and a friend (same with Kong respecting Godzilla as an equal and a friend) before returning to the sea and disappearing beneath the waves as Kong and the gathered humans watch on, safe in the knowledge that the world is finally at peace.
Godzilla has defeated just about anything that humanity and monsterkind have thrown at him. He stomps on tanks and knocks fighter planes out of the sky with ease, and he's trounced King Kong and Mechagodzilla. If there's a foe that Godzilla can't seem to beat, though, it's inertia.
Godzilla's strength has been officially confirmed to be greater than Superman's, as shown in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 preview. This feat of strength proves that Godzilla can easily defeat other Kryptonians, such as Supergirl and General Zod.
So, as far as the movies are concerned, Godzilla is the stronger fighter. Biologically, he also has the upper hand. According to a scientific breakdown of Godzilla's physicality (via Science Focus), he has an estimated bite force of around 57,000 Newtons.
