You'd have a point, if it weren't for the fact that Godzilla gets buried by crumbling buildings twice during that fight and gets back up much more quickly the first time. Godzilla had part of a building that was broken off by Battra fall on top of him and hit him from behind, knocking him face flat on the ground. It took him about 30 seconds to get back up from that. The second time, he had a full building fall on top of him from behind, knocking him down in a similar position but this time keeping him down for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

This implies one of two things. Either Godzilla was dazed or knocked unconscious from having a greater mass fall on him, or he struggled to lift 2-300,000 tons of concrete. Zilla Jr., who was prone in a similar position to Godzilla, busted through 700,000 tons of rubble in under 10 seconds, which would suggest either his durability or his physical strength is on the level of the Japanese Godzilla. Neither scenario is promising for Gigan, who was defeated rather quickly by a Godzilla who did little more than stand in one spot and fire his beam.
