The reason they "ain't got no 7 division titles" is because in those days the avoirdupois difference between weight classes, was; feather-light...9-10 lbs. light-welter...12 lbs.
Welter-middle.... 13 lbs. etc.etc.
Today there are intermediate "Junior or Super" divisions, which doubles the number of titles. So any junior or Super title won by Manny would automatically be classed as the next highest division, which, if Manny were fighting in those days, he might not have won.
