He should worry about the speed, but Khan's power is no better than Ortiz's. Peterson should be confident in his ability to neutralize Khan's speed, it's what his style and skills are built to do.
So he's as quick as the quickest fighter in boxing, JMM is slow, so he must be some kind of super being.
What exactly does he do better than Khan?
Inside fighting, accuracy, counter punching, general timing, he has a decided skills edge on Khan, about as much as Khan has the athletic advantage on him.

Style is the biggest obstacle for Peterson here.
Do you think Peterson should try to box Khan and time in coming in or pressure him and try to get on the inside of Khan ?
I think he would be better suited to pressure and get inside. Khan's constant movement and fast hands will certainly make it difficult though.
