Hi!
I'm hoping a historical boxing fan or old timer can help me. I'm working on my geneology, specifically learning about my filipino relatives who I have never met (I was born in the states & have never been to PI). I found the photo (attached) in a box that belonged to my great-grandmother. The back says "To my Anty" and is signed "Roberto de la Cruz"
I am wondering if it is THE Roberto Cruz (WBA World Light Welterweight title holder from 1955 to 1968).
There aren't many photos of him online and I've only found grainy newspaper clippings. There seems to be a resemblance but I'm not certain.
Any help is appreciated! Salamat
