That would require that the BOOTP/DHCP dissector match request and responses, which it currently doesn't do.
It would be useful if it did so, so that you could, for example:
have the dissection show, for a request, which packets, if any, have responses and, for a response, which packets, if any, have the request;
show the time between the request and the response, and have a service response time statistic to show average response time, etc.;
mark requests without responses with an expert info indication;
show statistics such as the one you're interested in.
You should file an enhancement request at https://bugs.wireshark.org/.
