I have no problem with Peterson. I fully agree he is a more decorated challenger than McClosky. But for me personally, I'd rather McClosky because I'd like to see him get a chance at world level, he's unexposed and the Irish-English angle is a nice selling point (McClosky will have plenty of crowd support) for a British based fight.
