The Real Madrid star believes the comparison is just not logical, as he believes the Argentine is in a league of his own.
The Colombian, who will face Messi on Saturday, described the Argentine as someone from another planet.
"Messi is from another planet," he told AS.
"He's a unique player and you can't talk about a James v Messi battle because that's not fair on him. Colombia are able to play against difficult sides with great players."
James added that his side is well aware of how good this Argentina side is, and has said that his team will have to be at their best to beat them.
"It'll be a good game," he added.
"We're quite clear about how good the Argentina players are, we'll both be up for it, because Colombia play well and we'll try to do that."
