I think the differences are small but significant, Lacy had thudding power but Cloud seems to have sharper shorter punches and I think there is still time for Cloud to learn how to box a bit better and if he's able to do that and maybe use a little defense it'll be all he needs to really work over anyone at 175 right now.
vs Woods you could tell Cloud didn't really appreciate the severity of anything Clinton threw at him but that's the attitude you don't want to have when you fight someone who is a decent boxer. If you just say "forget it, the other guy is going to score I won't even bother to block it" then you're setting yourself up for big time failure and that's exactly what Lacy did. Don't take a beating when you can avoid one and still hammer your opponent out of there
