Worlds largest tortoise breed

What is the largest tortoise breed in the world?

They are species, not breeds FYI . On average large Aldabras are biggest, but some individual Galapagos have gotten near the 1,000 pound mark.

Well, all reports I have ever seen, the Galapagos is the largest with the Aldabra being next. I don't think there is a big size difference between the two though.
