Pliosaurus is way heavier than Thorbjarnarson's crocodile, and better adapted for swimming, likely with a stronger bite, so Pliosaurus wins here.

I favor the Pliosaurus as well. Larger than the 3 crocodiles together and one bite is one-kill. Not a mismatch at all though; if the crocs can damage the Pliosaurus' flippers, they would definitely win as it would lose lots of its mobility
