There's three types of statements:
One, where the author is basically doing the equivalent of self-inserting into the story and saying 'this is how much this is'. These can be identified usually by information being given out for no particular reason other than to show how strong/fast a character is. Josuke saying Crazy Diamond punches at 300 km/h, Superman saying he's hitting someone hard enough to wreck a small planet, etc. is a good example of this. Josuke can also catch bullets and Superman has pushed the Earth before, so this is backed up and seems reasonable even though these weren't quantified in an actual feat they did.
Two, is similar to the above, but the character is also blatantly wrong and/or contradicted, either by the work itself or by another character or event. Very obvious exaggerations fall into this category too. Things like Hanayama from Baki hitting with the power of a black hole, or Burter saying he's the fastest in the universe.
Three is the major problem type. These are the very broad statements that usually appear in lore that often are either not directly reflected in the work and/or just not quantifiable. Usually done to express scope and some vague idea of power, but can't and really shouldn't be used for direct battleboarding, and are often combined with other statements to paint some ludicrous and nonexistent picture of a character's power. Pic related is a big example for Kratos. Kratos beat Sigrun, who has some kind of magic that will affect 'the realm' (a multiverse for GOWfags) but in a way that can't or shouldn't be measured, and all she does is fight you with her sword and some weak magic. Any kind of 'the demon king threatened an infinite number of dimensions with his power' variant is also an example of this.
