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.
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 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.
