Canelo and GGG have the best shot at this point. Spence and Valdez have done nothing to even be thrown in the mix yet and the decade is half over. Doubt it will be them.

He has already become a three division world champion with a deep resume and has looked unstoppable doing so. He also has time on his side and 112, 115 and 118 is filled with enough talent for him to pick up some impressive scalps before Slowing down.
Imagine his resume adds Naoya Inoue, Carlos Cuadras, Juan Francisco Estrada x2, Amnat Ruenroeng, Kazuto Ioka, McWilliams/McJoe Arroyo, Zolani Tete, Shinsuke Yamanaka, Arthur Villanueva, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and all the other talented fighters in and around 112 - 118. Seriously, the floor is set for him to achieve greatness... It's just a matter of him avoiding the washed up Sosa's, Segura's and Viloria's of the divisions and actually challenging himself.

And I don't want to sound like a hater, but Floyd's wins over those fighters are really overrated.
Cotto - already Margarito'ed
Pac - no explanation needed, it's a great win on paper, but Floyd beat a post KTFO6 version of Manny.
Canelo - he was green, his best wins came after the Floyd fight.
Mayweather would've beaten these fighters at any point of their careers, but he didn't.
Angulo- Shot
Lara- Canelo didn't even really win that fight, but neither did Lara. Horrible performance by both fighters
James Kirkland- Chinny fighter coming off over a year and a half layoff
Cotto- As you said, he'd already been Margarito'ed

I'm not trying to put Floyd accomplishments down, but the reality is Canelo had fully developed as a fighter after September 2013.
And the schooling he took from Floyd is a key point in Canelo's career. That's a compliment to Floyd.

Fury I think will be a **** and burn career a la heavyweight Haye, cashing out short term. As for Golovkin he needs to challenge himself against opposition who pose a threat, clearly none of those come from middle, if he beats Ward he's up there same with Kovalev but I don't see either beating Ward.
If Ward stays active he can come close to Floyd they're formally recognised as the two best for a reason.

I don't think Canelo was green when he fought Floyd, nobody is green with 42 fights. He hadn't fought anyone of Floyd's caliber before that but who has? The guy is a special talent and arguably this era's best(no matter how much I hate saying it, but I give respect where it's due).
I could be wrong and this is just my opinion but I think what Canelo learned from the Floyd fight was to fight his fight at all times. He tried too hard playing into Floyd's game in that fight and it cost him.
