The giant squid's only significant natural enemy is the sperm whale.
The sperm whale grows up to 20 meters.
Megalodon grew up to 15 meters.
A fight between a giant squid and a sperm whale was nowhere near a forgone conclusion. Sure, the sperm whale could eat small giant squid no problem, and would GENERALLY win against a big one . . . but not always.
And Megalodon was only 75% the size of a sperm whale.
I'd give the advantage to the giant squid.
