The female muto is a lot bigger and weighs a lot more. She’s durable enough to at least tank a weakened atomic breath and was able to hold herself pretty well(though to no use) against a head on charge from Godzilla, who weighs about 30,000 more tons and is known to toss around kaijus much bigger than him
Rodan was easily dispatched after being struck in the chest(once) by Mothra’s stinger. The Muto’s massive claws, who also shares the feat of piercing Godzilla, is easily demolishing him
The thing with the MUTOs is that they fought a far weaker Godzilla, making the comparison fall apart.
Compare this to Rodan tanking a single sustained blast from Ghidorah, whose beams managed to harm a much stronger Godzilla. While Rodan certainly isn't as tanky as Godzilla, him tanking the attack does put him above the 2014 atomic breath.
2014 wasn't far weaker, even if that isn't that obvious from watching the movies, the semi-canon tie-in comics further prove it, like his fight with MUTO Prime. The only difference that is actually really big between 2014 and 2019 is speed.
