Oh no, I firmly believe that 20 lbs, even from 220 to 240 makes a difference, but I think that because it's a smaller percentage of the total at that weight, and because after a certain weight, pretty much everyone has KO power, it's something that combat sports over the years have just decided is no longer a determining factor.
Edit: On the topic of the lesser weight classes, I think it's a pretty big deal. Having a guy at 125 fight a dude at 145 is understandably likely to be a slaughter, so at lower weights, I think it's more of a point.
