it's not.
saitama is a comedy character whose power isn't "he tries really hard and works to save the things he deems important". it's "he's the strongest in the universe and so powerful he doesn't even have to try".
he wins against anyone that doesn't have an even more ridiculous description.

Setting Saitama aside, is there ANYONE in the S-class, or any combination of S-class who could reasonable beat Goku in a serious fight? Iโ€™m thinking Metal Bat supported by Tatsumaki stands a reasonable chance. Itโ€™s Metal Bat and not one of the front-loaded power heroes like Tank Top Master to Darkshine because just being strong up-front isnโ€™t good enough against Goku and only Metal Bat has an ongoing growth curve under pressure. Technique-type heroes like Bang and Atomic Samurai will just be overpowered. Tatsumaki can shut down ki blasts which makes her valuable as an assist for Metal Bat in this fight - although she does have a stand a limit and going past it causes her damage so ultimately Goku has the upper hand. technology heros like Genos, Drive Knight, Child Emperor, etc, are not competition to Goku.

Idk if you're going to use Murata fanfiction as canon, but Saitama was shown to have some sort of "zenkai boost" equivalent when he's fighting against Garou in the manga. He keeps getting stronger because Garou also gradually getting stronger.
If he got oneshot-ed by someone who outclassed him by wide margin, then he would've died. Goku and Bejita would probably jobbed because of their retarded "I want to fight him at his strongest" and their saiyan pride, but if he's fighting against someone like Gohan or Piccolo, they might just kill him early on to avoid another Cell incident.

No I don't think so at all.
Goku is leagues upon leagues above anyone in S-class. Even if you want to underrate Goku's raw power level, and put him on close to equal ground with metal bat (which would be a heavy underrating imo), Goku still has both high power and technique which is something no one else in S class has, they're either old man with techniques or a strong young guy that just brawls.
Tatsumaki's a wildcard because Goku doesn't go up against psychics very often.
of course Saitama is still leagues above goku

He doesn't have infinite strength though. But he got no limit to his potential. He was struggling against Garou for a bit, then he "zenkai boosted." Garou did the same, and they keep repeating this cycle until Garou hits his limit. But since Saitama has no limit, he already outclassed Garou and already blowing planets left and right, and at that point, Garou already lost.
I think the idea of Saitama power is his growth. He'll get stronger over time based on his opponent strength, and there's no limit to his improvement. At least this is the case with Murata's Saitama.

Logically, to beat him, you'll need someone to absolutely outclass him from the start, and doesn't give him any chance to grow by killing him in one blow. Else Saitama would just scales to his opponent over time, +1 them over them, and won.
DB characters are powerful enough, but there's only a few of them who are smart enough to do it.

He wouldn't punch through his chest though. Saitama would punch him and Goku would somersault through a couple galaxies before landing on a planet face down ass up with stars floating around his head. Then he'd instant-transmissions back to Earth and the two would have a meal together like nothing even happened.

In traditional powerlevel discussion you generally rate characters power scale โ€” city, mountain, continental, planetary, solar, galactic, universal, multiverses, etc. But Saitama is, to borrow a SCP term, a โ€œpataphysicalโ€ level character. Pataphysics = the science of upper- and lower-realities. The world of OPM and Dragon Balls is in a layer of reality lower than our own; authors in our reality dreamed up the reality present in OPM and Dragon Balls. Likewise, the porn books Roshi reads exist in a reality below Dragon Ballsโ€™ reality. Thereโ€™s also adjacent realties in a local reality cluster (ie, fanfics, spin-offs, etc). But, basically, the upper reality defines and set the limits of the lower reality. Saitamaโ€™s reality is that he can beat anyone and anything. This is a level above โ€œreality warpingโ€, because reality warping is another setting made by the higher reality (author) which cannot supersede the direct definition made by the upper reality of โ€œone punch manโ€; Saitamaโ€™s unbeatable strength is a fixture and limitation of OPMโ€™s reality itself. Itโ€™s not a law, but a fundamental structural component, like the walls of a house.

It is never implied that Bergamo hit the limit of his absorbtion ability. This fight was meant to show that while might enjoy fighting he's not stupid enough to let his opponent grow stronger than him (that's Frieza's shtick) and can easily calculate how strong they get and how much power he needs.

That was true before his series became exactly what it was originally parodying.

No it's not?
It's that one joke repeated for 5 episodes, then immediately hard cuts into a generic shonen manga?
