Is there a web site that has current amateur rankings?

There are Michael Smith's various amateur boxing rankings which he does monthly. You can view these by visiting dcboxing.blogspot.com. Below is the link for his USA Men's rankings:

USA Boxing had rankings, but with the current turmoil in Colorado Springs it may be awhile before they get posted again. There are other things that are more important for them to worry about right now:
1. Find a new CEO.
2. Find a Director of Coaching (maybe this really isn't needed as using volunteers may be the way to go until their fiscal problems are solved).
3. Solve the current financial crisis.
4. Get sponsors - start small if they have to and do what the USOC is doing and get "in kind" donations. Don't sell your soul to the devil to get one big sponsor (don't put your eggs all in one basket).
5. Get sponsors for the USA National Championships including television. Make it profitable.
6. Work out a better financial arrangement with the USOC. The USOC wants and needs a boxing NGB so they should help pay some of the operating costs.
7. Keep moving forward with programs to get boxing back into schools and do other things to increase membership numbers. If the membership numbers increase, it will ease the financial problems. The gym where I coach registers 150-200 members per year. If every gym did that, the total membership would be 225,000 - 300,000 instead of the current 38,000 or so.

I am going to post this in the other thread too.

There is no web site with official amateur rankings.
