Yes, killer whales (Orcinus orcas) are stronger than sharks.

Great white shark size: 15 ft (Fully grown male great white sharks) and 20 ft (Fully grown female Great White Sharks)

Orca (Killer whale) size: 25 ft(Fully grown female killer whales) and 30 ft (Fully grown male killer whales)

Sharks have over 3 thousand razor sharp triangular teeth while killer whales have 50 4 inch teeth. Shark brains are about 2 ft long and killer whale brains are 8 ft long.

Sharks usually hunt alone while killer whales in pods that have 40 individual killer whales each. One orca group is Transient, the one that prefers to prey upon large marine mammals and one orca group is Residential, the one that prefers to prey upon fish. Combining those 2 pods together would add up to 80 orca whales altogether. But 1 killer whale can kill a shark with a single stun without getting hurt and without help!

Note: Sharks are also fish. This means that they are at the very top of the food chain for killer whales as well!

The blue whale would be the strongest, because its the biggest of all whales. The dwarf sperm is the smallest and in comparison to a killer whale wouldn't be as strong.

Additional answer

A killer whale is more ferocious, but that doesn't mean it is stronger. Killer whales are excellent hunters, however on their own, they wouldn't be able to take down a humpback whale, but they are collaborative hunters and when hunting as a group could easily take a humpback whale calf or other smaller whale species.

As they say, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
