I think the idea has to do with a percentage of body weight. Given that, the difference between 100 and 110 is more significant than the difference between 220 and 230. Also, i think that there is a belief that, above a certain weight, you should be able to hit hard enough to stop anybody. a lot of the old time guys thought that, above 165lbs, you could hit hard enough to ko anybody.
True Grey, but what about the difference between 205 and 260, which is what the OP was eluding to.
