I think comparisons can be done based on relative dominance. When one player wins at a 25% clip and another at a 17% clip I think that is a significant difference. Players winning at a 3% clip for a lifetime are usually found in the HOF.
Despite changes in equipment, courses, etc. long hitters dominated in Jack's day as much as they do today.
