    I like Peterson, But I think Khan,

    Peterson has had many more fights but is still fighting the same standard of opposition as Khan is.

      Khan has the better tools physically but I think Peterson is more technically sound right now.

        I think the opponent Khan is facing today is more dangerous than anyone Peterson has ever fought.

        Despite being two years younger and having fewer fights, Khan has already faced at least four decent opponents: Limond, Earl, Kristjansen, and Lawton. Peterson hasn't fought anyone other than shot old Mexicans or D level clubfighters.

          How good is this guy Khan is fighting tonight?

          Seems like they are pretty equal to this point, Khan had his Gary St. Clair and Peterson had his Javier Jauregai.

          I think Peterson may be a little more chinful than Khan.

              Prescott is a dangerous puncher but not a slick boxer, like a smaller version Fulgencio Zuniga.

                Yeah watching the video he's looks like he trys to load up a lot.
                Wonder if he'll try to bait Khan into a firefight after seeing Gomez drop him.
                Khan looks to be the better boxer overall.
