"Manny will knock him out. We will knock him out,' said Roach when reached for comment a day after Margarito emerged as Top Rank Promotions' anointed one to face Pacquiao in a November 13 fight originally a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"I have no problem with the fight. Margarito is a tough guy. but his ring genralship is poor.' Roach added.
"The failure of Mayweather Jr. to respond to the deadline given by Bob Arum. the big boss of Top Rank, and sign a contract to face Pacquiao in a mega-fight paved the way for he 78-year old promoter to look somewhere else. He found the right man keen enough to face the world's pound-for-pound best fighter - Margarito"
Meanwhile, Roach made another bold prediction, a shocking revelation recently when he said that he thinks that unproven junior middleweight contender Vanes Martirosyan, who Roach trains, can beat World Boxing Association (WBA) junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto.
in the fight card, Roach thinks that the November 13 bout is still a saleable event.
