For as much as I like Ronaldo, you HAVE to do it on a world stage, and we only see C. Ronaldo be dominant in local leagues. Great Club player. But Henry did it at the world stage.
CR7 is a sure better talent individually... more decisive, better shooter, better dribbler.... However, it was not like that much better. Henry was a bit underrated for he was playing for Arsenal (1 UCL final) during his peak, and he was often overshadowed by Zidane in NT even he won everything with them from confed to Euro to WC. Henry was a great talent and was an asset for any team. Henry was better in vision and passing though. He was truely a great team player, while CR7 was a a more individualistic type -
I don't care about this whole "LEGEND" or "RESPECT" non sense. In terms of sheer ability and talent, Cristiano is a better player than Henry in every single way. The numbers speak for themselves.
