A cubic foot is a measure of volume (size). A pound is a measure of weight. The amount of weight that can fit in 20 cubic feet is different for different things. For example, a box with a volume (size) of 20 cubic feet, filled with solid gold, would weigh more than a box with the same size but filled with feathers.

How much does 2 cu ft weigh in lbs?
This question cannot be answered sensibly. A cu ft is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A pound is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. As a simple mental exercise consider a cu ft of air and a cu ft of water. They will have very different weights.
