Mine weren't as large, but my mother's standard schnauzer was highly anti social and would never let ANY dog other than her other one in the house without attacking (the other was a baby when the aggressive one was brought from the pound).. Here's what I did to get my beagle "accepted" . I let the schnauzers outside.. put the beagle in the kitchen put up a baby gate (for your dogs I'd suggest something a lot stronger) then let the other dogs in.. They could smell, see, and hear each other.. I left them like that until all of them calmed down.. then I opened the gate and they have been fine ever since.
I would suggest a trainer however.. mine I knew I could handle if something went wrong.. those are very large dogs who could hurt you without realizing it if you were trying to stop a fight.. a trainer might have some more sure fire techniques.
I don't believe that they can't get along.. there is ALWAYS a way.. the trick is finding it.. and ignore the statement that you can't have the same sex together.. I have 3 male dogs.. 2 of them are "dominant" dogs.. and they get along just fine after that intro.

If they're both the same sex you can't put them together. Find a different home for one of them.
It's unrealistic to expect the aggresive dogs to get alone with another dog of the same sex. Or sometimes even the oppisite sex.

If they are having fights (injuring each other and/or biting, not just "arguing"), you probably can't keep them together. Only a trainer who can see the dogs interact, though, can tell you for sure. Ask your vet for a referral or go to www.apdt.com or www.iaabc.org.

You can't. Just like some people don't like each other, some dogs don't like each other.
Keep them apart.
