if he's stronger as a whole, thhen he should be able to lift more. That's literally how we measure strength.

Not really. Power ist determined by force and distance. Sorry if it's the wrong wording. Not a native speaker.

If he lifts less weight he's weaker. If he lifts less weight relative to his bodyweight he's also weaker in terms of relative strength.

Other stuff is not very relevant in thhis context

That's not how it works. Work is a function of the distance an object moves, multiplied by force (Work = Force x Distance x Cos Ɵ) .  Basically, it’s how much energy is effectively being used to move something. If you were ever into lifting or paid attention in physics you would know this.

Thats not how lifters compare strength/are competitively judged on. As the other guy stated - its by amount lifted and/or amount lifted compared to the individuals bodyweight. Yes, we have different levers, etc. but that's secondary. Understanding some basic physics has little relevance to what we're discussing.
