Everone says Godzilla because he's "Bigger and has survived tougher things."

Cloverfield destroyed New York hundreds of times deadlier than Godzilla destroyed Tokyo. Cloverfield survived missiles, gunfire, even a nuclear bomb. It destroyed Brooklyn Bridge and causes massively intense power-outages throughout the state (possibly even he country). It bred vicious offspring that infected people and ruined the subway system!

Godzilla is bad-ass and I know he's a classic of the classics, but I think in this case, Cloverfield is just a bit more destructive, mindless, and can take take just a bit more hits than Godzilla before he falls. This is what will win him the game, here.
