This year could be huge for Nottingham-born boxer, Carl Froch. It is being suggested that he could be in line to fight Jermaine Taylor at some point in the coming months for the WBC super-middleweight title.

Froch is a man who believes he is ready for a World Title fight and considering he has a record of 23-0, I would be inclined to go along with this. He particularly impressed me during his last fight back in May when he stopped Albert Rybacki - who was previously unbeaten - in the fourth round. It was the type of performance that a World Champion would be putting in - he showed sublime timing, lots of power and a huge variety of shots. It was a very impressive display.

The fight against Taylor is not confirmed yet though. The pair are apparently in talks over sorting out a fight, but it is a case of wait and see for now. Froch is obviously keen for Taylor to go through with this fight. He has even labeled a potential contest between Taylor and Jeff Lacy a 'mismatch' in a bid to convince Taylor to step up and take him on.

Froch, of course, is actually the mandatory challenger for Joe Calzaghe's WBC belt and after his most recent fight Froch was quoted as saying that 'Britain wants to see Froch v Calzaghe'. He has a point there - I would love to see it. At a time when British boxing is better than ever, it would be a fantastic spectacle.

Unfortunately though, there will be long boxing odds on this happening because Calzaghe is set for one last fight in his career against Roy Jones Jr - meaning he avoids the threat of Froch.

The most likely scenario no though is that Calzaghe will give up his WBC super-middleweight title, meaning that Froch and Taylor will go head to head for the vacant belt.
