If they both lose their next fight then how about it? Right now who would you pick? Say Peterson moved up after fighting Mattysse or maybe even a catch-weight

Lol at the poll options.
Are people rating Peterson a little too highly at the moment? He arguably lost to Khan, even with the points deductions, and he never had Khan in real trouble the way Maidana, Garcia, or Diaz did. Maidana and Diaz are the other two guys who went 12 round with Khan in recent years and they both had him running for his life at some point.
Even if you do think Peterson beat Khan (which is fair enough), he did so because of how terrible Khan is on the inside, i.e. not having any inside game at all. I give Peterson full credit for walking through shots to get in there but there are very few other fighters who'd be so easy to bully on the inside in the welterweight neighbourhood.
I don't want to be too critical of Peterson, I was a fan of his until the TRT thing, but I think he's a bit reliant on the fragility of the other guy in the ring and his own ability to tough it out.

Peterson is good for what he is, but he's not on the level of Robert Guerrero. Peterson is a good inside boxer, Guerrero is a great inside fighter. The Ghost also is dirty enough to catch Peterson with shots he'll never see. I pick Guerrero by UD or 12th round TKO, depending on which Peterson shows up.
