Do you honestly think any of the Z Fighters were in a position to correct SPC and say: "Actually Cell, I don't think you could destroy the entire solar system. Based on my fan-calcs, you're probably just a multi-planet-buster"..? Lol, no. SPC was powerful enough at that point to kill all of them and annihilate earth -- which is all that mattered.
In the scene I posted, however, a depleted Cell was actually goading Goku into taking a senzu bean to make the fight more interesting/fun for him, because it would have increased Goku's chances of winning "slightly". Obviously Cell wouldn't have allowed(much less WANTED) Goku to eat a senzu bean, unless he was positive that he could still win. The fact that Goku himself opted NOT to take a senzu bean because it would have ultimately been pointless, further corroborates Cell's boast.
That said, there IS evidence to suggest that Cell could have indeed "blown away the entire solar system". His statement to that effect was mentioned/confirmed in the "Super Saiyan Guidebook", which was released in Japan shortly after the Cell saga... But that's neither here nor there.
