Lord Boros
Lord Boros (ボロス様さま, Borosu-sama?) is an alien from the series One-Punch Man, who invaded Earth in search of a legendary fight, foretold to him 20 years before. Being the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves, he has led his group across the universe, leaving nothing but a trail of destruction behind...

At best it grants possibly if they have the feats or within verse implication that they are capable of doing so.
But being confident alone isn't enough.

This is special case. He is not talking about Saitama strength as a whole but he is talking about taking on Saitama whose strength he saw as that level.nah look at this shit, the wording is ass

For boros. He is aware of the feat and capability if Saitama and he is confident even with those feats he can take him on. Which isn't really bad since he actual have the proper scale to determine since he owns the ship and is knowledgable on how durable it was.nah look at this shit, the wording is ass

For buddha. He has seen Zeus fight to his peak and how dangerous he could be and has been aware of his existence and feat as a God as a God himself. It might not directly upscale or scale. But it could downscale depending on the implication

Let me give an example.
You can destroy the universe but I don't know that
You destroyed a Planet and I saw that and says I don't have problem taking you down.
This scales me to planet level (if i have feats comparable) but not universal level. Because I have no idea on you Scaling to universal level.

Because it implies relativity.
People can intuitively (if they are of sound mind, knowledgeable, and not narcissistic) gauge their own ability against that of another’s.

It depends on context.
A character being confident in defeating someone can simply be due to overconfidence, the character is just highly arrogant, or they're unaware of how strong the person they think they can beat actually is. But in some cases, the implication is solid and likely rings true.
In the case of an third party observer, someone who has witness the characters feats and still say they can defeat them is somewhat more reliable. Though overconfidence and overestimating someone's abilities is possible, so it's a case by case scenario.
Note: A character just saying they can defeat/fight someone with no extra context for or against it, is not good enough for a rating to me. At best a possibly higher rating if the character isn't know for overestimating themselves. There needs to be some support for it, such as the character knowing exactly how strong they both are.
Boros' scaling is iffy since there is no indication that he was preparing to fight Saitama in his armor. He might've been planning to remove it after they spoke but Saitama's punch beat him to it. It'd normally be fine, since he saw Saitama's destruction of his ship and sensed his power. Though I don't see it happening in his armor.
Can't say much for the Buddha scaling, but if the character's words have support they can be used somewhat. It seems supported by other reasonings. Such as casually overpowering and defeating a 5-B character. His rating isn't entirety based on that statement. However I know nothing of this verse so maybe I'm horribly wrong.

I got this. I'll explain this one since I made it. 5-B itself is just very consistent among the gods, but what makes fighting or considering figting Zeus impressive is that gods like Zeus and Odin make other gods shit themselves just by their presence, all due to their strength. Hell, Shiva who is 5-B didn't want anything to do with Zeus when he just pulled him down for a second, yet here's Buddha showing more confidence than Shiva.
