Here's the ratio stats of the guys I consider the 3 best hitters, with the league averages for each included.
It's practically impossible to say any one of them was clearly more dominant, once you take the ERA they played in into account.
Too bad there's not really any comparison for the period between Williams and Bonds. Mickey Mantle probably fits in somewhere, but he was more a contemporary of Williams than anything.

In his best season, '16, he had 4.7 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9. League average for the AL was 3.7 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9.
As a hitter, he lead the league in strikeouts five times, with his highest coming at 93 in a full season. His worst seaosn ever, in which he lead his league, would have placed him in an 8 way tie for 97th in baseball last season. Nobody struck out back then.
