Well, Ryan Rhodes' thick gothic 'Ryan' on his stomch is pretty bad...
But I think Garry Delaney's sun design over his nipple is by far the worst...
Any thoughts?

angel manfredy has some bad ones, especially after he found God.
Damon Hague has some good and some bad ones.

Ditto on Manfredy.
The one I don't like the most is the little mark Marco Antonio Barrera has on his chest. Just personal taste at the end of the day - I've never ever liked those small ones (usually Taz or a leprachaun or whatever) that people get. Wish Barrera would get it removed.
Don't really like the one Ricky Hatton has (is it red boxing gloves?), either.
The one I like the most is Mikkel Kessler's.

All the boxers who have 2 little gloves on their chest!
Looks like a flower from a distance

Riddick Bowe covered himself in big tattoos that just look like blotches on his dark skin. I heard it regretted having them later. Now in his last fight he seems to have had some of the tatts "filled in". Nutter.

Tyson's facial one is one of the worst.
One thing that never appealed to me is tattoo's although they can look intimidating especially when your younger and fighting someone with a tattoo.

Johnny Tapia looks pretty much covered in tattoos nowadays, GMan Mcllellans pitbull tattoo was cool..

I seem to remember "Gentleman" Glenn McCrory is surprisingly tattooed under the smart suits we see him in now.

It seems all Danish Boxers have a compulsory tribal tattoo stretching all the way down there arm.

You're right there.

But it's also a phenomenon that seems to be sweeping the woooorld (I know at least 3 people with it).
The reason I like Kessler's more than this generic one, is the big dragon face and the fact it had something to do with his Viking heritage.
A tale so stunning I can't even remember what it was.

On the subject of Riddick Bowe i was looking at a close up of him on one of my disk cases and it appears the tattoo on his right arm says
"In memory of Brenda and Henry"

Riddick Bowe had tattoos of all of his children, but when he split from his wife she claimed that two of them were to his best mate! Riddick had DNA tests done on all of his kids and when he dicovered that his missus was telling the truth and 2 of the kids weren't his he had their images "blacked out"

Not sure about the worst, but Dan Guthrie's fish is pretty impressive on his back.
