Lacy was a top amateur with over 300 fights at pretty much the very top level of the amateurs. Cloud never had a bout outside of Florida as an amateur. I think Lacy had more tools and was more explosive then Cloud and he definitely doesn't have the wins or hype as Lacy. He looked more polished coming up rather then the raw fighter he is now. The injuries and the Calzaghe fight (which I still attribute to Lacy being stale, not all the way but that wasn't the same guy in the ring with Reid) and some personal problems he said he had but hasn't disclosed wrecked him. It's a shame as he is now written off even though more then half this board picked him all those years ago.

They have similar styles but that's where the similarities end imo.
