In an interview with ESPN's Dan Rafael, Roach made his thoughts known about his ward's potential next foe.
"I've thought about Mayweather for a long time now," Roach said, and added, "He's the ultimate opponent. His style does pose some problems because he's very good at what he does. But after seeing Manny with Cotto, Manny showed he takes a punch well. We'll definitely knock Mayweather out. He'll break down. He can't stand up to Manny's pressure. He won't last as long as Cotto."
