He just carried it up now at his present weight. We know PAC's first KO loss was from a shot to the chin and second was from a body shot. But those losses were at flyweight when PAC was still a malnourished teenager. I think PAC developed his incredible punch resistance at featherweight. That was when he became a full grown healthy man. He started developing his tremendous calf muscles then which helped him a lot with balance adding power at the same time.
Remember, PAC faced the 3 great Mexican fighters at 126 and 130. Barrera, Marquez, and Morales couldn't knock him down once in seven fights while these guys suffered over a dozen knockdowns against PAC altogether. PAC was even struggling in weight in the latter part of his super feather career but still no one has downed PAC since he became a featherweight up to now.
Stepping up to lightweight superlightweight and now welterweight PAC becomes even more sturdier because he isn't draining himself anymore. David Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto are total Pacquiao beatdowns but they also dished fair amounts of return fire against PAC. Problem for them is PAC never flinched to any of their shots, may it be body or head shots. No welterweight today can trouble PAC, the Cotto fight proved how he become a complete BEAST fighter.
