Miguel Diaz

Miguel Angel Diaz (born 1938) is an Argentine boxing trainer who has trained fighters from Latin America and from the United States.

Coaching career Diaz was selected to receive the Futch–Condon Award for the 1999 Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America, and was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame on November 15, 2008.

Diaz began boxing when he was eight years old, and experienced twenty-seven amateur outings, who knocked Daniel Zaragoza out in eleven rounds at El Paso, Texas for the WBC world Bantamweight championship. Diaz then began traveling between Los Angeles and Tijuana to help train Morales. Miguel Diaz also served as a cutman and co-trainer for Diego 'Chico' Corrales and Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, which led to a conflict when the two fighters faced each other. Diaz chose to work in Corrales' corner instead of staying with Mayweather, with whom he had a longer relationship. Mayweather remained professional but made it clear that he would not work with Diaz again if he made this choice. Diaz, confident in Corrales' victory and with a larger role and a bigger share of the fighter’s purse, opted to support Corrales. However, Mayweather dominated the fight and won. Following this decision, Diaz no longer worked with either Corrales or Mayweather, resulting in a significant loss of income, as Mayweather went on to become one of the highest-grossing fighters in boxing history.

He went on to help train Fernando Vargas
