The problem is you can't quantify "relative skill level of the opponent", because it would be a matter of opinion.

That is true. But also ranking fighters is in most case just an opinion. I do realize that it would be a tedious exercise, but it is an important point. Beating a Bermane Stiverne is definitely not equivalent to beating a Nonito Donaire, GGG, Jacobs, Hurd, Gassiev, Gvozdyk etc. and should not get the same weight. Not picking on Wilder, just pointing out flaws of the system when comparing guys at different weights without taking into account the actual ability, not ranking, of the opponents.
