Should large potentially dangerous dog breeds such as Pit Bulls and Presa Canarios require a license

I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't Pit Bulls at all (since media reports tend to be wildly inaccurate in determining dog breeds), and that they weren't "family" dogs, and that they weren't trained & socialized properly.

"Each year, 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs. These bites result in approximately 16 fatalities; about 0.0002 percent of the total number of people bitten. These relatively few fatalities offer the only available information about breeds involved in dog bites."

That's right: 16 fatalities out of 4.7 mill incidents (reported) out of 310 mill people. You're more likely to be killed by your spouse than your dog, even if you have a pack of Pit Bulls living with you.
