Unless the Earth is completely destroyed, Battra can be continually resurrected. I think people over estimate Megaguirus's speed, because that comes with the weakness of being lightly armored. Battra has several types of long range beam attacks. If anything, the two monsters would come to a stalemate.

Battra also has the benefit of having the same cry of Megaguirus's natural predator, Rodan ;p Rodan and Megaguirus existed at different times. And Battra having the cry doesn't matter. Seeing as how Megaguirus dodged almost all of Godzilla's attacks, I would say she has some pretty good speed. Rodan eats Meganulons, which is what Megaguirus was before turning into a *queen* Meganula. Having the same roar was a joke (and it was obviously so due to the " ;p "), and NINmann01 wasn't saying that Megaguirus wasn't fast, but that people think that Megaguirus' speed will be more helpful than it is due to more speed = less armor, so it disadvantages her.

Oh, sorry. I haven't seen the first film yet. I heard that Megaguirus lived in the Carboniferous period, while I assumed that Rodan, being a pterosaur, at least evolved in the Triassic.

NiNmann01 also said that Megaguirus's speed was "overestimated", which made me say that she was pretty dang fast.
