Floyd Mayweathers Wiki Page
Hello wikipedia it has come to my recent attention that you have a photo of Floyd Mayweather from 2010 in a casual shirt sitting down. I feel he is an icon of our generation and is a legend of the sport of boxing. Who else had been dominating the sport for 21 years, undefeated and champion of 5 different weight classes. I feel that due to his recent mega fight against Connor Mcgreogor, and Mayweather surpassing Rocky Merciano's record of 49-0, that a photo of Mayweather simply in a shirt from 2010 doesn't represent the magnitutde of this fighter. For example future generations of youth in school deciding on which icon they want to study, everyone will instantly look to wikipedia for the quick easy readable facts to decide who to choose. They would then come across Floyd Mayweathers page and see a 'simple' looking man in a shirt, its not exactly the best eye candy right? a fighter undefeated for 50 fights in a row, a role model to our current generation, a legend considered the best ever in one of the most challenging sports to date. Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard, to name a few, are all household names. What separates these greats from Mayweather first of all they have all been beaten and second of all to dominate a sport like Floyd over 20 years is down to adaptations and realising your strengths and weaknesses over time as you age. Floyd Mayweather went from being an all offence fast puncher to an illusive hard to hit defence master. The only person you can really compare this with is Cristiano Ronaldo (not a fan boy) he was a pacey winger who's game was to beat opponents with pace and explosive speed. Over time Ronaldo realised he didn't have the same speed as he used to so he adjusted and uses strength and positioning to outwit his opponents. I feel that your so called 'profile picture' is a slight misrepresentation of what Floyd Mayweather is about and people in later years will look back on Floyd's career and look to Wikipedia as a source of information to learn about the accomplishments of Floyd Mayweather, so a photo of Floyd in his natural habitat the ring would be a great image for Wikipedia to impose on the future generations looking at Floyd Mayweather's career

I have a few examples of what his profile should be P.S. i think that if you negotiated with getty images they would be kind enough to provide good quality photos without their tag. (these examples will be sent if i get a response ￼
