Hendry was never as talented a player as O'Sullivan for me, but had a will to win that was incredible. Had Ronnie had Hendry's desire, he'd have won as many world titles as Phil Taylor has won in darts. I remember reading an interview with Stephen Hendry, where he said that he absolutely loved trying to inflict as heavy a defeat on his opponent as possible - if they were having an off day, it was important for him to give them as much of a beating as possible. Hendry was an animal on the table, arguably in the same way that Taylor once was in darts, never beaten until the end.
