Who would they fare against a modern sperm whale?

One problem is that they weren't dinosaurs, they were marine reptiles and came from the same era but aren't scientifically classed as such.
The most ferocious we have found are the Liopleurodon, up to 25m long and 150 tonnes and the Megalodon, up to 16m long and up to 60 tonnes.
Obviously the Megalodon is smaller however their mane source of food were whales. Basically they are more modern creatures very similar to the white shark only twice the size and they only died out 10 thousand YA whereas the Liopleurodon died of around 150 million YA.
I'd say not much would have stood a battle with the liopleurodon however their shear size gave them a short shelf life and they became extinct relatively quickly. Probably due to changes in sea conditions.

Liopleurodon
I don't believe any other sea creature would stand a chance
