A bigger Marquez was even tougher for Pacquiao. Marquez looked much better than he had at 135 against Kastidis.
When you don't have to dehydrate yourself and not eat to make weight, it doesn't help a fighter's chin.

Alot of guys who have had chin issues have shown better chins when they move up and stop having to cut weight for weigh ins.
