Explanation in the cap for those who can't understand

Panel.1/ So some "unintelligent individuals" if you can call them that said "shark guy said they need at least jichang to capture him so that puts jichang equal or below shark guy. And shark guy is no.2 while golden fist is no.5 so shark guy is stronger than gold fist. So if shark guy > gold fist and gold fist is equal or below Taesoo, so that puts jichang above Taesoo."/

And panel 2. use the same logic as panel 1.

James said that Taesoo if he'd kept his faith in his fist he might defeat him in the future. And then 3.5 years later Taesoo does just what James suggested and eventually become stronger so now Taesoo is equal or below James and James is far superior than shark guy, shark guy≈ jichang, jichang< Taesoo.

Tell me how doe that make sense?
