Corrected it for you. Weight has nothing to do with it if you are smooth.

Any bike, save one with super low spoke count wheels, will stand up to a certain amount of abuse. Road bikes can be bunny hopped and they have to deal with the same road hazards...potholes, cracks, rough pavement, etc...as commuter bikes. You can even ride them off curbs without damage if the wheels are strong enough.

You really shouldn't be slamming potholes anyway. It can lead to not just wheel damage but frame damage which is far more expensive to fix.

As a commuter bike, cyclocross is okay if it has the proper fittings for carrying racks and (if you need them) fenders. If it doesn't its as useless for commuting, as my father would put it, as teats on a boor hog The frames on them are fairly short so fitting racks to them and using panniers (if you use them) can be difficult and cause heel strike problems.
