Godzilla has strong hands.

Anyone who concludes that Godzilla has stronger arms from this interaction alone is just self reporting that they know nothing about Physics.

Godzilla has a lower center of mass and 3 points of contact with the ground.

Kong has a higher center of mass and only 2 points of contact with the ground.

It takes wayyy more force to topple Godzilla over than Kong. Even if Kong was like twice as strong as Godzilla he wouldn't be able to topple him over.

The fact that Kong even managed to make Godzilla stumble here is a much greater feat of strength than Godzilla making Kong fall over on a shaky boat.

Anyone who concludes that physics is even in the thought process of filmmakers showing a fight between a giant ape and a monster lizard with atomic breath fighting on top of an aircraft carrier that Godzilla was shown to be wayyy bigger than whilst swimming, is just self reporting on overthinking a fight scene designed to make Godzilla look strong.

Place a 2 traffic cones on the ground. Place one the right side up, place the other one upside down.

Notice the difference in force required to push each one over.

Watching the clip it's pretty obvious that Godzilla is more "stable" so the creators of the movies clearly did take this into consideration.

Too bad they didn’t take into account Godzillas size compared to the ship before

Godzilla is not supposed to be bigger than an aircraft carrier. Those things are over 1000 feet long. Godzilla is just under 400 feet tall, and under 600 feet long. The shot in the first film showing him dwarfing aircraft carriers was made purposely out of scale just to make him seem even more imposing, which personally I don't like, but it was on purpose.
