Let me settle this.Apes generally don’t do so well when fighting powerful carnivores of a similar size. In fact, things like leopards are able to take on and kill gorillas, despite being barely more than half their size. Their skin isn’t very durable. Their main weapons (their arms) are also weaknesses as being bitten by a creature with powerful jaws would be debilitating. Additionally, apes tend to fight mostly with blunt force trauma, something that is exceedingly difficult to kill with, especially against a carnivore that’s set up to take on large, struggling prey. On top of all that, a Gorilla’s body plan isn’t made to function at a weight as extreme as 7 tons, so it would probably have trouble even moving at all, much less facing one of the biggest, most powerful carnivores of all time. King kong is fictional. However, if we somehow scaled up a gorilla proportionately to the size of t rex, t-rex would win. A Giant gorilla will struggle to handle the massive jaws of t-rex, which can kill him with 1 bite only. Gorillas arent very durable animals, and they are thin-skinned. T-rexes however, were more durable, thick-skinned, and can heal much faster than gorillas. Also, they may even be more resistant to infections compared to a gorilla. T-rex can also use its tails to knock a gorilla down.

In theory, gorilla should somehow twist the T-rex's neck and broke it, but in a realistic setting, they wont be able to do so, since t-rex have a very powerful neck muscles, and physcologically, gorillas arent meant to do so.

Gorillas are strong, indeed. But t-rexes are stronger, overall more powerful animals. Oh and by the way gorillas do not have strong jaws. Human jaws are actually more powerful given the fact that humans adapted to eating meat as an alternative to rare vegetation during the ice age.
