Default Which would you rather have 77 or AK?

Hey,

I got into a debate with a buddy about how I rather have 77over AK. He was saying that AK is a top 5 hand and 77 is not anywhere near the list, yet 77 is favored over AK heads up, and if the flop doesn't hit, 77 is a big favorite...

What do you think? Which would you rather have...and why? Can you give me a situational example as well.

Thanks!

I'll take 77 anyday since I suck at playing AK. Was statistically my worst hand for a long time.
