It depends what you mean.

In that link technically the "best" hand is 55 if you look at it as one hand versus the other.

But if you're talking straight up equity versus that 35% range shown then A8 would have the most equity

Different hands have different equites/odds against different hands

22 vs 78 suited 45% 52%
22 vs AK off 53% 47%
78s vs AK off 42% 58%

In algebra if A is better than B and C is better than A then C is better than A but

As above 22 is better than AK offsuit

78 suited is bettter then 22 so in theory 78 should be better than AK but it isnt
