His previous girlfriends do seem to have been a bit high maintenance. When my bf told me of his conversation i must admit i was concerned about how he meant too nice, he said that he meant it as i was too good for him, but if that was the case why would his friend say whats wrong with nice? Any ideas on what he really meant?

OP I'd say he was just worried you'd turn out to be a pushover or a doormat type. He was used to having to jump through hoops to make girls happy and he was just worried that you may turn out to be too timid and the power dynamic in your relationship would be too one-sided.
But look it turns out that wasn't the case hasn't it?
OP surely you've been in and seen many others have relationships, there certain power dynamics that just don't work. I'm a pretty strong character and in that sense I need a strong woman to balance it out. I like a girl who can stand up for herself and ensure I meet her needs. Basically I like to have to work to earn her. A strong willed woman with a mind of her own.
He was probably just worried you'd be too nice and too submissive.
