People tend to call mess a "challenge". That is seriously wrong in my opinion. Imagine you wake up after a party in your house — empty bottles everywhere, pizza boxes glued to ceiling, etcetera etcetera. Looking at all of this, what will you say? Will you ever say "what a challenge"? Well, if you will, you should consider visiting a doctor. "What a mess" a mentally healthy person would most probably say. So why would you call, say, thousand lines spaghetti code a "challenge"?
Mess is just a mess. Call it whatever you want but things won't change. You have to roll up sleeves and clean it. No challenges here — just a work that has to be done. The sooner — the better.

The mess may become a challenge, when there are thousands of people sitting on top of that huge pile of broken bottles and pizza boxes.
And you have to clean it without bothering them, preferably so they don't even notice :)
But your point is good, it's always the mess and rarely the challenge.
