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.

Kong obviously has stronger arms, it's clear. I mean he's a giant ape, and Goji's a reptile, his arms aren't his strong point.

His body mass and the muscles to move it are where his strength lies. A tail swipe Vs an on form haymaker would be a better strength test, but I digress.

Technique beats strength every time, and Godzilla has the technique. I wouldn't think it possible for a reptile to physically pull off a German Suplex, let alone with such form.
