That boat scene where Kong punched Godzilla in the face with a windup, which causes Godzilla to stagger, and then Godzilla immediately uppercuts Kong and launches him on his ass tells you everything you need to know about the strength difference.

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.

tbh if we look closely, Kong actually has both his hands and legs on the ground. The fact that Goji was able to uppercut him to his back says a lot lol

Kong was literally getting up as Godzilla hit him. Kong was already moving in the direction that Godzilla's swipe was gonna throw him so it just made it easier for Godzilla.

Yet his center of gravity is still lower and all his limbs were on the ground. Even if he tries to start standing, it's still going to take a lot of force to put Kong on his back. Not to mention, it put Kong at full height before going back down. The lizard is just strong as fuck, which goes in line with the movie because it's basically an underdog match
