Simply being an off-screen bystander to a fight isn't a feat. This alone is insufficient evidence for us to say Boros can move or attack as fast as Geryuganshoop can throw rocks. It would also require the assumption that Saitama casually attacks at speeds similar to Geryuganshoop, which is impossible to know because Geryuganshoop doesn't have reaction or combat speed, and was promptly blitzed.
Besides the above, there's also the fact that Boros kicking Saitama to the moon was the only confirmed attack of Boros's to be near-light speed as well, which heavily amplifies his stats, far beyond his other forms. This is the same form stated to bring out power beyond the limit of living beings, which could be interpreted as near-light speed attacks being beyond the capabilities of Boros in any other form.
Armored Boros got his armor blown off without a chance to defend himself. Saitama's face before Geryuganshoop's pebbles landed was the most expression Saitama had on his face in response to an incoming attack prior to Meteoric Burst. That speaks for itself. Released Boros is much faster than Armored, but if we were to assume he's casually near-light speed with every blow before MB, then Saitama should not have had shock on his face when MB Boros dashed at him. Plus, that conflicts with the narrative.
Geryuganshoop's values are based on arbitrary values and Boros's values (which aren't even used because he scales above Geryuganshoop) are less than Geryuganshoop's, and are based on the animation timeframe. If you were to assume that Geryuganshoop's speed is some super low number that qualifies as sub-light speed, Boros's speed would have to be much higher with a percent increase that makes sense to warrant Saitama's reactions. Any number between 10 and 99 is a 10x range. I don't see that honestly surprising Saitama. Especially he said it was starting to look like a real fight after he got kicked to the moon.
Arguments:
"He's Saitama, of course he's casually faster than a side character at all times".
As a counter, Saitama was holding back from the beginning. He was capable of obliterating MB Boros and bypassing his reactions from the start with regular punches, yet did not use that power from the very beginning. We don't scale MB Boros to his lower forms.
"Saitama said Geryuganshoop's ability was a bad joke"
He said throwing rocks as an attack is a bad joke. But knock yourself out semantics bros.
"Just because meteoric burst's attack speed is near the speed of light doesn't mean his other forms aren't"
For which you have no hard evidence, first. Second, it would be illogical for his other forms to have power near the form that was stated to produce power beyond the limits of living beings. Anything he could accomplish in meteoric burst would be beyond the capabilities he had in any other form, which is why it's his Trump card.
Proposal:
Scale his first two keys above someone else, maybe the Dragon-Threat ninjas who are sub-relativistic.
