Wepner = Rocky?

Ive heard about it before.

But I didnt realize he fought Andre the Giant & that he sued stallone over using his life story!

Stallone denied it, but talked to Wepner and thanked him for his story!
What do you guys think?

I read an article on ESPN.com today about it. Wepner had sued Stallone....and Stallone had settled out of court, but the amount of money was not to be disclosed.

Yeah, I watched a documentary called the Real Rocky.

I just read that recently as well. I'll admit that I never realized that "Rocky" was based on Chuck Wepner. I vaguely remember him taking on Andre the Giant.
