I don't know, I always felt that reptile > fish
The Croc has the ability to turn upside down in water and rotate every which way. Once a shark is flipped up on it's belly it's harmless. The croc also has a tougher hide, claws and tail which can be used as weapons. The shark only has teeth.
Plus sharks need to keep swimming/moving otherwise they drown. Crocs on the otherhand can hold their breath for as much as 2 hrs.

It's tail cannot be used as a weapon underwater. Only on land. And crocs don't use their claws too much to my knowledge. The tougher hide is an advantage tho.

Well to be clear, I didn't mean that they were primary weapons, like how a cat would use it's claws almost as much as it's teeth. But they (tail and claws) will still come into play if croc and shark get into a grapple, as obviously the croc will have it's legs to use in order to push/claw the shark so it gets into a better position.
Sharks can't swim straight if one of their fins gets bitten off. Crocs survive fine with missing limbs. Shark's skeleton is made of cartilage, croc's made of bone - guess which one is sturdier. Sharks need to keep swimming forward to breath, crocs need to hold their breath underwater but at least they can turn every which way while they hold their breath. Crocs have stronger bite force as well.
