They all seem correct to me. The first is used, I think, when you're disagreeing with someone's opinion, in this case you think he's not going to win. Sentence #2 is more inquiring, as if you're challenging someone to provide some evidence that he's going to win .

- Sentence #3 is similar to #2 in that that it states that the claim made should somehow be supported.
- All of your examples are more common in the negative, I think.
