Ummmm, no, he didn't. Floyd stayed at 130 until he was about 24. He didn't move up any divisions in that time span.
There's also quite a big difference between doing it in 3 round amateur fights and doing it at the highest world level against actual professional world champions. To pretend there isn't is very disingenuous.
GGG turned pro at 24 and hasn't moved up a single division or beaten a single number one ranked or number one champion in that time despite now being 33.
Maybe a less disingenuous thing to do would be to compare their records from 24 to 33?
I believe he was actually 24, funnily enough, when he moved up from his first division at 130, maybe 23. By the age of 33 he'd already moved up five divisions and beaten I think about 15 world champions.
So you said it was disingenuous to compare them as Floyd started at 19 and GGG at 24, and Floyd is now 38 and GGG 33.
Well, between the ages of 24 and 33 GGG has beaten I think 2 or 3 champions and moved up, ummmm, no divisions at all in fact.
Floyd, taking away his early growth period as a young man that you said gave him some kind of weird disingenuous statistical advantage,
, between the ages of 24 and 33 moved up five divisions and beat around 15 world champions, give or take, I couldn't be bothered counting properly.
