I guess i'm not sure what waxing means. Patterson isn't stopping the guy via knockdowns. But those tough physical things a big guy like Wepner always did, to me anyway, would've been asking a lot to handle for an old Patterson. Floyd wasn't getting too many ko's at that stage of his career & Wepner isn't going anywhere and if nothing else, Wepner is capable of turning things into ugly bouts.
