Exactly - to compare Ivey's agression to "other pros" - well it would make Hellmuth laugh.
To say the reason I'vey is so good is because he's good at all the games is like saying he's good because he's good.
He's good because he is scary - take the single top attribute of any pro and Ivey possesses it on at least an equal measure.  
Chris Ferguson is considered the most impossible to read but I would maintain Ivey is every bit as hard to read - maybe more so when you add trying to put him on a range.
Ivey has all the practical applicable poker math skills of Bill Chen.
Ivey can read an opponent as well or better than Hellmuth or Negreanu.
Nerves of steel - there is no equal.
Get in your head - Tony G has nothing on Ivey.
Add to that the hype of poker commentators continually telling us he's the best in the world.
But having said that - some young guns are catching up.  Ivey's rep, like Hellmuth and many others, is based on what poker was.  Poker is now Dwan, Mercier, Lamb - there'll be a new sheriff in town in a few shart years and my money is on Mercier.
