Magnus is often considered more dominant than Hikaru in chess, and has defeated him in many classical chess games. However, Hikaru can still be better than Magnus in speed blitz games. Hikaru has never been world champion though.

I feel a bit sorry for Hikaru, he would likely be the multiple time world Champ, had he been born at a different time.
Hikaru may not be as good as Magnus-but he's usually better than all the others
