Boros did not require a serious punch himself, that is fragrant misinformation; Had the fight continued physically Boros would have eventually been overwhelmed from having to regenerate so many times too continue, dying due to lack of energy. No serious punch required. Note that Saitama does not say that he can take out any oppenent with a single normal punch, but with '''normal punches. '''Meaning that while he would need more than one, no enemy has needed him to output more than his normal series, not even Boros himself.

The most you can argue is that he needed a serious punch to deflect Boros' Planet Busting attack, but that is not an enemy, that is an attack that is vastly above everyone else in the series, Boros included. Even this can be suggested to just be Saitama showing off for Boros, as Boros notes himself, he wasn't even trying with that final attack. As was clearly the case in the duration of their fight, if you could read bsaic subtext, Saitama was simply giving Boros the fight he himself so desperately craved in a case pure sympathy. In truth Saitama could have taken Boros down with significantly less punches than he did.

Furthermore, there has not been a single enemy that has required more than even one normal punch, let alone several and especially a serious strike.

Speed o' Sound Sonic did not require Saitama to get serious to outpace him, that is bordering on insanity if you think so. Saitama simply decided to take him seriously as a person, not as an actual threat. Obviously.

Saitama did not require a Serious Punch to take out Elder Centipede, that fucker would have gone down after one normal punch. He only needed to get serious to focus collateral damage (and because he was frustrated)

Saitama did not require more than one normal punch or even a serious one to take out Overgrown Rover, as he states himself he was going easy on him, simply due to viewing him as an overgrown mutt rather than an actual monster.

Both latter cases are blatantly proven by his fight with Orochi which only required a single normal punch, despite Orochi being vastly above all of his subordinates. None of them required more than one normal punch.

You could argue he uses his Serious Series for conviniance sake, but; That wasn't the point both I or Saitama were making
