Power to weight ratio??

Hello everyone!
I was looking for engine thrust on the net and then thought about
power to weight ratio on som aircraft...Anyway i been pretty surpriced
when i saw some aircrafts power to weight ratio.
PS. took the strongest engines and HGW version of the planes

B752: 116t/87=1.333...

A330: 233/142,2=1.638...

B744: 420/248=1.693...

And now to see that the B752 has a very good power to weight ratio,
while the A330 and B744 is pretty close to each other...
I mean can this be true??
For example take the B757 and the A330.
1,333...*142,2=189,9
i mean if the B752 are at its MTOM and the A330 are at 189,9 t
would they use the same amount of runway??
And the same with the A330 it's pretty close to the B744..
Or has it something more to do with construction on the wings etc...??
Thanks for all help!
