Chuck Wepner has received a bit of press lately since he filed a lawsuit against Sylvester Stallone for a percentage of the profits made off of the "Rocky" movies. While the lawsuit is laughable, it's not as funny as this true story...Wepner fought Ali in 1975. Before the fight Wepner, known as the "Bayonne Bleeder" told his wife. "Go out and buy some expensive lingerie because after the fight you'll be sleeping with the Champion of the World!" Ali won the fight. A bloodied Wepner walked back to his dressing room...
... where his wife asked, "So, do I go to Ali's room or does he come to mine!"
