Godzilla is a more heavyweight, brutal fighter, relying mostly on strength with his beam as a finisher. (Well, sometimes. It all depends on the era.... And its power varies a lot.)

Gamera relies more on energy attacks, and most of his more powerful tactics are detrimental to himself. Hence he loses in close combat, but when it comes to firepower, it's easy to see his ultimate energy attacks outclass even Godzilla's. He always gets beat up quite a bit before using his powerful tactics, because, I admit, he isn't very durable compared to his dino counterpart.

Gamera is always heavily outmatched when it comes to close contact fighting. So yeah, Godzilla would easily throw him around there. But when it comes to firepower, Gamera could potentially either kill or greatly wound Godzilla.
