The Filipino is recovering from a torn rotator cuff that was aggravated in his fight against Floyd Mayweather.
He is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
Pacquiao underwent surgery and is sidelined until 2016.
Roach is annoyed with Danny Garcia's father, Angel Garcia, for talking too much s--t.
Roach noted that Angel Garcia psyched out Amir Khan, but he wouldn't be able to do that against Pacquiao, Tha Boxing Voice reported .
Observers say that there are hurdles in making the fight since Garcia is an Al Haymon fighter and now regularly appears in the Premier Boxing Champions series .
Pacquiao is signed with Top Rank and appears in HBO.
Roach said Pacquiao's rehabilitation is going well but said it will take three to six months before he fights again.
He added that they encountered some trouble since Pacquiao doesn't want to go to the United States for the rehab, so they got somebody in the Philippines who is working with him every day.
Roach said that Pacquiao told him that his shoulder feels better.
Pacquiao is swimming and playing basketball so he says it's coming along fine.
To Rank's Bob Arum has been grooming Amir Khan to fight Pacquiao next next year somewhere in the Middle East.
While Danny Garcia is his preferred opponent, he says he's definitely interested in the Pacquiao va Khan showdown.
Roach says it's an intriguing fight between two fast guys who have a history after having trained together sparred some rounds.
