QJ is dominated by AQ, KQ, AJ, KJ, and also by AA, KK, QQ, and JJ. Now, there are 16 possible ways to get dealt AQ, KQ, AJ, and KJ, and 6 possible ways to be dealt AA, KK, QQ, and JJ. So, in terms of exact combinations of these hands, there are 88 specific hands that will have QJ dominated.
Now, if I'm not mistaken, if you hold QJ, there are only 12 possible ways for someone else to get dealt AQ, KQ, AJ, and KJ, 6 ways to be dealt AA and KK, only 3 ways to get dealt QQ and JJ. So that adds up to 63 specific hands, not the 88 you say.

Now, comparing QJ to KJ, KJ is dominated by much less hands (AK, AJ, AA, KK, QQ, JJ), which totals only 56 specific hands. So, you can see how much stronger KJ is over QJ.
If you hold KJ, there are 12 ways for someone else to be dealt AK and AJ, 6 ways for AA and QQ, and 3 ways for KK and JJ. Which, if I'm not mistaken, totals 42. KJ is still much better, but not as much as you had stated. Just trying to help, not sure if anyone else has pointed that out...
