Leon is the only one who’s known to be willing to sacrifice himself to ensure mission completion. He fights long enough to realize that he’s outclassed, and then suicide-bombs all three.

Bond is an excellent opportunistic fighter. Whatever is in the hotel room is a weapon for him - and that’s aside from his own skill at fighting. And, he seems to be able to talk his way out of any deadly situation as well. I would never bet against 007.

Should have made it Daniel Craig’s Bond. He would likely win.

I also pick Leon.

Agent 47 would infiltrate the hotel as a guest, a bellhop, a maid, whichever is most convenient and efficient. He’d swiftly and silently assassinate the other two. No one would even know he was there.
