That’s not a fair comparison because Roy Jones didn’t fight at heavyweight.
He wouldn’t have been dominant for that long as a heavyweight.
Tyson was also a good heavyweight when he came, he was just overrated. He won a title, only lost to Holyfield and Lewis until things got really bad and has an incredibly impressive win over Andrew Golata.

Roy Jones Jr was WBA heavyweight champion of the world. He beat John Ruiz for the title after Ruiz's trilogy with Holyfield.
