As of right now, since January 1, 2010, I don't think its a stretch to say floyd is in the lead for FOTD award, followed by Ward, wlad, maybe nonito.
Projecting through to Dec 31, 2019- My guess is ward and Canelo, given who they could beat and the titles they could win, would likely be in the lead at that point. GGG, Danny Garcia, and Kovalev are young enough and have the potential opponents to be there as well.
The difficulty will be how much credit to give floyd (if he were to win the lineal MW title) and wlad (if he were to set the record for HWT title defenses) because those accomplishments likely happen before the decade is half over.

Come on, it's way too early to even guess. There is no "safe bet" here.
Floyd and Manny will be gone in two years and there will still be four years left of the decade.
Ward has a chance, but he is very inactive right now, and a lot could happen in 6 years.
Rigo is not the youngest, and may not get the chance to make the most of what's left of his prime.
If Donaire wins a belt in another division or two, he could be in the running, but the Rigo loss will hurt his chances (unless he avenges it, which is a long shot).
There are guys who have looked very good so far but we don't know how high their ceiling is yet: Canelo, GGG, Kovalev, Mikey Garcia, Crawford etc.
And then there is Roman Gonzalez, who may be an ATG in the making, but he is too small to even have a chance.
