Arnold.
This picture reminds me of that one trivia about "Conan" that Schwarzenegger did train so much that his muscles were too big to properly wild a sword.

Sooooooooooo who is the modern day Stallone or Schwarzenegger ...? The Rock & vin Diesel? lol
GungHo
Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
That's the thing. There is no modern day Stallone or Schwarzenegger. Statham is barely a Van Damme. The Rock is barely Dolph Lundgren. We don't really have anyone that's larger than life any more. Shit, we barely have Steve Austin as a Bolo Yeung. Vin Diesel maybe to the level of Michael Dudikoff if they can't get another Pitch Black/Riddick off the ground.

Arnold for the one-liners and starring in Predator AND Terminator films.
but I think Stallone is more talented going by First Blood and Rocky..and Cop Land.

Statham seems to be the most consistent in his action movie output. I'm not a big fan, but he's the closest thing around at the moment.

I think Arnold is entitled to an Oscar of some sort. Except not a Lifetime Achievement Oscar. Anyone can get a Lifetime Achievement.
IIRC Stallone has a couple Oscars, so Arnold should have like 6. Or 10.

I think I like Stallone better, but Shwarzenegger has the better filmography.

After watching that 30 for 30 documentary on "the real Rocky" I can't help but choose Scharzenegger here.
The story in a nutshell in case it hasn't already been posted: Stallone built a billion dollar franchise with Rocky, name drops Chuck Wepner and his fight against Ali as the inspiration for his story publicly left and right. Then after decades of never seeing a dime from Rocky's success Chuck decides to sue Stallone. Instead of being fair and writing the broke old man a decent-sized check, Stallone begins to deny everything he ever said about Chuck being the inspiration for anything and refuses to give him shit. So they go to course, and of course with all the glaring similarities to Chuck's life (many of which at one time were pointed out by Stallone) they settle out of court.
Kind of an asshole.
On the other hand we have Schwarzenegger, who I'm sure has done some shady shit in the past as well, but I tend to forget about that when I consider how he took a massive pay cut for Terminator 3 in order to get that awesome action sequence green lit. It didn't stop the movie from being shit, but that's still makes Arnold an OK guy in my book.
