VD, that's a pretty bold statement there on Niida.
Top 3 all time.

I don't the quality of his opposition merits that but his continous success does. You gotta consider fighters like Rosendo Alvarez, Nene Sanchez and Chana Porpaion who all fought during argueably the best era of the division.
After thinking about it some more, I think I actually place Niida 2nd all time behind (way, way behind) the great Ricardo Lopez. I mean Rosendo Alvarez was great. But he didn't spend that much time at Strawweight. Porpaion was good but I rate Niida higher based on his win over him. And I place Niida higher than Ivan Calderon because I think Niida fought the better opposition.
