NEWARK, N.J. - Former heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner's lawsuit against Sylvester Stallone will go forward, although the actor was given some relief by a federal judge.U.S. District Judge Katharine S. Hayden denied Stallone's bid to dismiss the lawsuit, permitting a trial on one of Wepner's claims: that Stallone inappropriately used Wepner's name to promote his "Rocky" movies.But Hayden dismissed Wepner's two other claims: That Stallone was unjustly enriched by trading on Wepner's life story and that Wepner suffered by relying on Stallone's promises."For us, it's 100 percent victory, since those two claims were tenuous at best," Wepner lawyer Anthony G. Mango said Tuesday.Stallone lawyer Jon Paul Robbins declined to comment. "We're not going to litigate this in the press," he said.
