“If sport was fair, there would be no winners and losers”
There you go again, fundamentally misunderstanding what sport is.
The sport - sprinting - is a means of finding out and ranking the speed of competitors. The fairness is in having a meaningful category, not in nobody winning or losing. “Male people interested in sprinting” is a meaningful category. “All people interested in sprinting” isn’t, because an elite female will be outrun by an OK male,
While Hall/Bolt is a non-sprinter being not as fast as a sprinter. The unfairness isn’t in ranking the two; the only unfairness would be if a third party decided that the way to measure who was the best sportsperson arbitrarily decided that sprinting was the means by which we decide.
Eddie Hall will indeed never be an elite sprinter, and that’s why a fair contest to find out how he compares to Bolt would show him to be not as good at sprinting.
What you’re failing to understand is that there is no fair way to compare a female sprinter to Bolt. For exactly the same reason there’s no fair way to compare Bolt to a Cheetah in a “fastest mammal” contest - the differing physiology makes it impossible to have a meaningful ranking of positions, because a 10.5 second 100 metre run means something different for a man, a woman, and a cheetah.
Eddie Hall’s 100m run would demonstrate what sprinting attempts to show, and his, presumably unimpressive, time would contrast with Bolt’s excellence.
But put Bolt against the fastest woman who ever lived, and you don’t demonstrate Bolt’s ability relative to anything except a physiology less geared towards speed than that of Bolt’s sex.
Once more, it’s a fundamental understanding of what sport is for.

I said could, not would. A small but significant difference. And I said a fair contest isn't intended to distribute the results evenly,
so what you're responding to isn't clear, especially as your conclusion contradicts your introduction.
At this point I think it's fair to say that we just don't agree on the definition of fairness. Sport, like life, isn't fair.
