    Interesting comment on ESPN chat with Dan Rafael

    Just my opinion, but Tavoris Cloud reminds me a lot of Jeff Lacy.

    Why because of their physique? Dan is an idiot.

      Some other random person put that.

      I mean, I made some connections in my mind...

      Lacy looked like a god because he fought some old guys coming up and looked like god, but then ran into a prime fighter and got shut down.

      It could and probably will happen when he fights Bad Chad Dawson honestly.

        I never whatched Cloud but I heard on this forum that people are calling him Jeff Lacy Jr. !

          I don't really see it. In terms of stature Lacy was all kinds of overrated while Cloud has largely flown under the radar. I think most people, even Cloud supporters, are aware of his limitations and acknowledge that Dawson would probably beat him if not dominate him.

          Fighting wise, they're both big hitters but Cloud is faster and less cumbersome.

            Not a fan of Cloud, but even a prime Lacy wishes he could put together sharp combinations like Cloud.

              I thought he looked so much better against Woods, showing MUCH greater stamina; a lot more active too. There were rounds that Johnson won simply because Cloud took the round off. Personally I think Cloud would have stopped Johnson had he came in with the same stamina and intensity he did against Woods.


              Anyway, I wouldn't make that comparison, the layoff may have had a lot to do with why he didn't perform well. Lacy ain't all that.

                The only similarity there is that Dawson might do to Cloud what Calzaghe did to Lacy.

                  This guy only makes boxing articles about boxing for ESPN. His opinion or knowledge of boxing is nonexistent.

                    They better keep Cloud away from Dawson.
