The Chuck Wepner Movie (The Real Rocky Balboa)

Really looks good. I like Liev Schreiber and he seems perfect for the role! Wepner was a character worthy of a movie.
" before his historic fight with the champion, Muhammad Ali, Wepner gave his then wife, Phyllis a powder-blue negligee beforehand, telling her she'd be spending the night with the heavyweight champion of the world.
"I come back to the hotel and she’s sitting on the edge of the bed in the negligee. She says, “Am I going to Ali’s room or is he coming to mine?' " Wepner recalls. "She had a sense of humor."

Stallone ****ed Wepner bad, also people didnt want to work with him because apparently Stallone made sure Wepner got no roles during their feud and it hurt him.
