Martin was top 20, so is Breazeale.
This should be fun. Let's see who can name 20 heavyweights better than Martin and Breazeale.
I know, people make these daft statements and moan like fvck, but really, who is Joshua supposed to fight. Out of his IBF top 15, there are only 3 or 4 boxers available.
I was going to, but since two others came up with two different lists of higher level fighters, I don't think it's needed. Probably a good few others neither have mentioned including Price, Ruiz Jr, Ustinov, not even saying they're top 20, just better than Martin or Breazeale.

How can Joshua fight the guy at #10?
Joshua just beat the guy who beat #16 in his last fight. How in the blue hell was Martin not top 20 then? Please try an explain with another one of your biased rambling intonations.

He won on a technicality and then got destroyed in his next fight.

Horse, you are the Zelenoff of arguing... There have been numerous TDs in boxing and every single one counted.

Was Martin in your top 20 prior to the Joshua fight?

Ricky asked for a list of HWs better than Martin and Breazeale....Martin beating Glazkov in that fashion hardly proves he's the better fighter, even if it was officially a win and moved him above Glazkov in a set of rankings based on recent resumes. Was Luis Santana, the guy who won by DQ over Terry Norris a couple times, the better of the two prior to the third meeting? Would a win over Santana immediately following his first or second fight with Norris be more impressive than wins over Norris at the same times?

You know Breazeale already beat Mansour, right?
Yes I know he did but after watching the fight (its on youtube) I still think Mansour is better. I would be surprised if you did not think the same after watching it, it was a fight I overlooked until a few days ago when a poster said Brezeale was lucky in that fight, previously I had not seen the fight. As Crusader points out Luis Santana beat a prime Terry Norris twice on disqualification, sometimes you have to step back a bit and be subjective. Martin beat Glazkov, but it was only because Glazkov got injured, so for the purpose of evaluation its like the fight did not happen IMO.
Breazeale loses every round but wins the vacant World Boxing Council Continental Americas title, a significant belt in figuring the WBC heavyweight ratings schematic.
Mansour won the first five rounds on the judges' scorecards (50-44, 50-44, 50-44), and knocked down Breazeale in the third round for a 10-8 round, who beat the count.
Mansour inadvertently bit his tongue nearly in half during the second round and could not breathe through his mouth, nor his nose as he entered the bout with a cold. Mansour gave up on his stool.
Contributing to the tongue injury, Mansour's mouthpiece for this bout was fitted for his upper teeth only.[[1]] It remained a mystery why the partial mouthpiece was even allowed by the C.S.A.C.
Mansour underwent five hours of surgery and took 36 stitches in his tongue to put it back together, one of the most bizarre injuries ever incurred during a heavyweight bout.
Despite press reports which 'jumped the gun' and said Mansour had fractured his jaw, causing the stoppage, Mansour's jaw was not fractured, and the early reports turned out to be false.
Mansour, as old as he is (42?) totally beat the over-rated Breazeale for 99% of the fight before the freak stoppage. Joshua should beat him down inside of 3 rounds. Totally crap opponent.

Dominic isn't someone who Joshua can put away with just one shot, he also isn't someone that will be intimidated by Joshuas power. I for one am somewhat interested in seeing this fight, if Joshua is going to become some legendary boxer then it will be shown against Breazeale, if it doesn't show then Joshua will end up as a win on Tyson Fury's ultra boring record and will be remembered as someone who took part in the torturous years of the boring Fury reign.
