Giving away two or three rounds to caution is not going to work with Garcia, Rios or Mathysse in my opinion.
Peterson did great after he got started, I hope Hunter can help him shed some of that caution. I wonder if Khan would fight him again?

I don't know, but Khan's chin seems to be shit lately, so if they do fight i'd have to favor Peterson.

With Peterson what you see is what you get. Nothing great but does everything decent. He capatilized on a war torn Holt and showed patience...a Peterson staple...early and closed the show when he was in full control. To me a rematch with Khan has to happen. Khan is seeing fit to meet a guy in Julio Diaz who the same Holt left cold with a single hook not even a year ago. Weird how this boxing world revolves.

I think Matthysee flattens him

I'd see Rios wearing him down & taking him out late

Ditto on Matthysse. Even with his ear muffs square shoulder guard Lucas would come from the basement and break through. Holt even caught him early and playing that wait around and lay in is playing with fire with Matthysse.

Lean towards Rios too because Peterson fights like a slugger with a boxers frame, not tall and mobile. He'd be hitting Rios with nothing but a rolled up newspaper.
