It's not that Hancock got her bounty at 16 that's significant.
It's that she got that bounty in one campaign and was APPROACHED TO BECOME A SHICHIBUKAI at 16. That's madness.
And if the conversation Kuma and the Gorosei had about Moria's defeat ("No one can know he was defeated," "word must absolutely not get out") implied pretty heavily that a Shichibukai's reputation is so important that being defeated can put it into jeopardy, then that means that Hancock has been an undefeated Shichibukai for at least over a decade.
Sounds pretty badass to me.
