In terms of times, Bolt has the faster time with his incredible World Record of 19.19s, while the American speedster has the third-fastest time in history at 19.31s.

Why Michael Johnson ranks Jesse Owens ahead of Usain Bolt and himself as the greatest athlete in history
American sprint legend Michael Johnson ranked his greatest athletes in history, and surprisingly Usain Bolt doesn't top the list.
This year, the reigning world's fastest man overtook the retired legend for the most sub-20s 200m races recorded. Lyles has gone under this mark in an incredible 39 times ahead of Bolt's accumulated 34 times, making him the sub-20s king.
At 26 years old and just getting to the peak of his career, which he has already started challenging or surpassing Bolt's accomplishments, it is foreseen that Lyles can match or overcome the Jamaican's legacy in the 200m event before his retirement.
