Let's look at it this way.

Showa Rodan, was able to stand his own against Godzilla, wasn't afraid to fly head first into Ghidorah and fall onto a jagged rock, when this happened, he got right back up and continued to fight.

Heisei Rodan, was able to down Godzilla with a single fly by, using the thinest part of his wing to send Godzilla to the ground. Was able to survive two Plasma Grenade Cannons. Fire Rodan is just a more powerful Heisei Rodan.

GFW Rodan? Was knocked out by flying into a mountain.
