Fight of the Day: Godzilla vs. Cloverfield

In one corner is the King of Monsters himself, Godzilla!

In the other corner is the newest Kaiju within the United States, Cloverfield!

I would actually have to state that this is one fight even Godzilla (while not exactly losing) may have to walk away from. In other words it would be the closest I can think of in terms of a draw, and here's why.

In watching the Cloverfield movie, the monster was bombarded with bullets, missiles, grenades, etc., throughout the majority of its short existence. And yet it looked like nothing was really stopping it at all.

Even the military utilizing a massive carpet bombing, that virtually leveled nearby smaller buildings, did little more than cause the monster to tumble. Within a few short moments it was already leaping into the air and attacking a nearby helicopter.

This is all because Cloverfield's strongest offsense/defense is its tough skin. Presumably an effect stemming from deep sea pressures, Clover's skin is virtually impregnetable. It allowed the monster to walk through New York without any real damage, despite hours and hours of military action against it.

What did finally lead to its demise was a combination of the MOAB (or Mother of all Bombs), which is the closest to a nuclear bomb without the radiation, and subsequent bombardment from Navy ships and submarines in the ocean.

This is why I feel the fight would be one of the longest in Godzilla's history.

Godzilla would first attack with its fire breath and find that the Cloverfield monster may be resilient to it. Thus Godzilla would be forced to fight hand to hand with the monster, and this is where Clover has the advantage.

Those long forelegs allow it a huge reach advantage, which means Godzilla would have to spend hours dodging those strikes while trying his best to sneak in any tail swipes, throws, even bites.

This is why I feel that after hours of this Godzilla would probably give up and walk away exhausted. He would literally know the meaning at this point of an immovable object meeting an unstoppable force.

Again it's not necessarily a loss, more like a draw.
