Which would win? A shark or a crocodile? Biggest kind of shark vs biggest kind of crocodile. Not prehistoric ones though

Whale shark vs crocodile then? Should be obvious.

Great white vs crocodile would be better, but in the water the crocodile wouldn't stand a chance.

a crocodile simply cannot attack a shark like it wants to, nor can he drown it in a deathroll. Shark takes this in one bite.

Out in the open water a GWS is a lot more agile. Both average around the same length, but the GWS is still noticeably bigger and it's also heavier.
The only advantage the Salt***er crocodile has is its far superior bite force. However out in the open water, its soft underbelly is exposed, something a GWS can easily rip open - killing the croc.
In shallow water, I'd give it to the croc.

The croc still needs to be able to tear chunks off a GWS. I just don't think it can. shark skin is not something a croc normally needs to tear to shreds

The croc can easily bite off one of the shark's pectoral fins, which is not good at all for the shark.
Besides, it won't be easy for the croc at all, but in shallow water, the croc will be more agile, its underbelly is sort of protected and the shark will have a lot of trouble trying to penetrate the croc's though skin - it might not even be able to penetrate it at all. A shark's bite force is not really that high.

If the croc gets a good bite on the head, the shark will be in a lot of trouble. Other than that, the only way for the croc to win is to make the shark bleed to death.
But in open water, the shark will have the advantage.

In open water, there's no likelihood of a crocodile winning at all, especially not against the more lethal sharks like the great white, mako (small but still insane), thresher, tiger, or bull. The shark is just too at home in an environment like that, and great whites especially love to come up from underneath, which is the crocodile's biggest weakness.

Actually, I believe there are some accounts of crocs taking sharks in open water. Though, it's quite uncommon as the shark will have a major advantage in open water. But anything can still happen.
And as you said, sharks usually attack from underneath, and that's something it can't do in shallow water.

Animal planet backs the shark in open water too. Though these fights are usually pure bs.

OP says largest shark, which is the Whale Shark, is a 21 ton filter feeder. Presuming the Crocodile could reach the depths it maintains, I think it would have quite a bit of trouble getting rid of it. By default it's a stalemate.

The whale shark would be so uninterested in killing the croc that this would be a crap fight. The shark would have to be bloodlusted and starved to the point of desperation for it to even attempt to win this.

Too bad the meg is prehistoric.

Which may of may not still be alive today. Sure it's classified as Cryptozoology, but most "cryptids" we do discover are very old sea fairing beasts. So it is a possibility.

We've only discovered about 5% of the ocean. It would be epic as hell if Megalodon was still here. Though, unfortunately I doubt it.

No, Megalodon won't exist, that's 99% sure.

For one thing, given its body shape, it wouldn't be a deep water dweller like most of the recently discovered creatures. Also, it would have to eat massive amounts of food to survive, making it easier to track its feeding patterns. Final nail in the coffin, there is too much competition for it. Risking its neck to hunt whales that aren't eaten by orcas or great white sharks would be near insanity. Sharks are surprisingly delicate, even a seal can leave some nasty wounds on a great white. For a megalodon to attack a whale near its size would be almost suicidal unless it caught it by surprise, which is unlikely considering the fact that whales often travel in pods
