Ryan O'Hanlon argues that Lionel Messi is not just the best player of modern soccer, but potentially the greatest male athlete of all time. He emphasizes that the competitive disparity between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo mirrors those found across other major sports, while also noting that soccer's global reach makes it harder for an athlete to dominate as thoroughly as Messi does. This perspective invites a reevaluation of Messi's impact on sports in general and challenges traditional comparisons confined to soccer alone.
The question wasn't whether Messi is the greatest of the modern era, but if he is the greatest male athlete of all time, given soccer's global nature.
The separation between Messi and Ronaldo is as significant as any in major sports, emphasizing Messi's unique dominance in soccer.
