There have been a few instances in the past where the 4× First-team All-Pro challenged athletes from other sports industries. He didn’t even hesitate before challenging the fastest man alive, in a race numerous times. Hill even challenged Jake Paul in a boxing match a few weeks ago. There were also a few other challenges, but we haven’t yet seen any showdown. But it’s very safe to say that the options are open.

Who would win if it actually went down?

So, let’s discuss the possibilities if Lionel Messi actually decided to go head-to-head with the 7x Pro Bowl. If we look at their achievements, even though Hill has won the Super Bowl, the GOAT of soccer leaves him miles behind with his achievements. LM10 is still one of the leading goal-scorers in the entire world, with the World Cup in the Bag. Also, he has won the most trophies in the history of soccer, with seven Ballon d’Or.

Hill has yet to go very far to catch Messi, but with his retirement in 2025, it wouldn’t even be close. Although the latter is 6 years older than the WR of the Dolphins, he is still one of the best dribblers in the soccer industry. But keeping all the assessment aside, the WR must be very happy to see LM10 play in his own state. They will both represent Florida in the upcoming season, and it is safe to say we will see them together very soon.
