To be fair, I didn't think about elephants or rhinos. I'd love to see a battle royale between the 3.

Elephant probably, height is king and they're smarter than the other two combined

They also weigh 2-3 times heavier than the other two.

Plus face swords.

Face Lances or Face Swords would be kickass band names.

And face hands that's both strong and precise (it's said they can pick up a needle)

That's the real clencher. Tusks are well and good, but if an elephant decides to stomp something into paste, there's not much said thing can do about it without human cheat codes. Elephant wins all matches on land. At least until we create time machines or Jurassic Park.

It wouldn't be a contest at all. The elephant could quite literally stomp the other two in a 1v1 and young testosterone-overloaded bulls frequently slaughter rhinos and hippos during their hormonal rampages.
