best compression software

I was trying to get a comparison between two compression utilities. I want to know which one has a better compression ratio, (which one when used makes the files the smallest).

Out of 7-Zip

and another program called Zip genius.

also could someone explain the compression ratios in this site that talks about 7-zip, which was also a PC MECH article i was reading. Link is here: http://www.pcmech.com/article/7zip/

any help would be appreciated. Because i want to compress large files as much as possible.

Yes that is a good compression tool, but i wanted a comparison, which has a better compression ratio. Which when used make the file smaller. And i wanted to compare only two programs, 7zip and ZipGenious.

Links of which are in my first post on this issue.

Just curious, but the Comparison section of Cricket's article wasn't sufficient?
