BTW, the time gap between ESB and ROTJ was one year, not three years.
Oh did he? Never saw a source, so please go ahead and post it ^^

As said, rock paper scizor describes it best. A less skilled opponent might win against a superior one with the right tools. It's like an Axe against an Spear, or a Spear against an Axe, or a Sword against an Spear.
Ironically this is exactly why you have to take Ben "stomping" Maul with a grain of salt.
Maul was too desperate to kill Ben, and never got over TPM fight, whereas Ben was a complete defensive fighter now just waiting calmly for Maul to attack him in a frenzy, and use his own attack against him (see Rebels S3 behind the scenes for Twin Suns).
Similarly Dooku always had Obi-Wan's number, which is why Kenobi never did well against him, yet was able to defeat the guy who trounced Dooku.
And Dooku himself never did too well against physical attacks (See Anakin and Savage in TCW), or unorthodox and unpredictable attacks (see Vos in Dark Disciple), hence why Maul would likely be a nightmare for Dooku.

It regards, to the full list, which has been gathered from emails, interviews, starwars.com, etc., I made the following to show where he (roughly) ranks everyone:

So, Sidious, RotS Anakin, and Yoda are 9s. Mace is bordering on 9. Dooku, Obi-Wan, and Maul are 8s. AotC Anakin, Fisto, and Qui-Gon (presumably) are 7s.

"The fighting has evolved in these last three movies considerably," says Gillard. "George Lucas works on a system of levels. So, on The Phantom Menace Obi-Wan would have been like a level six or seven. Now that we're on Episode III he's actually a level eight. When you move up the levels, it affects the style of fighting." - Nick GillardIt regards, to the full list, which has been gathered from emails, interviews, starwars.com, etc., I made the following to show where he (roughly) ranks everyone:

So no Georg Lucas interview, no direct quote from the Man who created this, just the opinion of an stuntman? Nothing, really, that's all? Oh, why did I even bother to ask.
Juicy.
The quote explicitly states Lucas worked on the leveling system - Gillard has, over the years, remarked what the leveling system consisted up.
Thus, Gillard is merely telling, via interviews, emails, starwars.com, etc. what Lucas himself invented.
And lmfao @ "just the opinion of an stuntman." Gillard wrote all the fights and created the PT-era lightsaber combat style.

Ok, Georg Lucas was working on something and since there is nothing official from him, he never bothered to finish it. Sounds logical.
Now, this huge fan of the franchise wants to have some influence and makes stuff up that Lucas most likely forgot or never said.
He worked for Lucas and did his job, nothing more, he is not the authority on the canon, this is still Lucas and as long as we don't have anything official from him your point is moot.
Gillard has this and that but not Lucas, not hard to grasp me thinks.
