Again, my newborn baby analogy should still work. Saitama taking hits with no scratches from opponents of a very high strength does mean that he can survive hits of that magnitude without any real harm, that is true. I'm not saying Saitama has never shown to be hit like a newborn baby, however. The similarity between the two comes in terms of how neither of them have had their limits tested. Could a newborn baby survive a punch from Goku? Well, it has never quite been tested by somebody of Goku's caliber, but is also has never been hurt by anything lower than Goku's strength either, so should the baby have an immunity to that of which it hasn't been hurt by? Not really. Saitama wasn't hurt by certain people, and assuming what CAN hurt him would just be... assuming.

We have no idea what his breaking point is, but that does not grant him immunity to all physical harm because of it. His highest feat of durability is all we have to base him by, which displays him taking a hit from somebody far below Goku's pay-grade, and thus we can't assume Saitama would just as easily be able to take such a hit from Goku. We can't assume he wouldn't, either, but that is the magic of not being shown somebody's limits. I cannot assume a newborn baby can't take a hit from Goku, but I also cannot assume he can, and so you have to take the lesser of two evils. Assuming Saitama cannot survive a hit from somebody above the level of somebody like Boros is an assumption, but is far more forgiving from then stating that Saitama could survive anything because nothing has phased him prior.

Saitama's limits are another point in my favor, because the fact that he has shown limits can gauge his power. Saitama's highest strength "feat" comes from two statements that he could destroy the Earth if he so pleased. Goku, on the other hand, should at the bare minimum be comparable to Cell, who has had very equal statements in his favor stating that he could blow away the solar system. Saitama not being hurt by a planet buster should not transfer to equally surviving a solar system buster simply because, again, assumptions, and like you said, he has shown his limits before. Granted we having quite seen Goku's limit either, but the power he's showcased far surpasses what Saitama has, and so that is what we've got to base the fight on.

As long as we are both in agreeance that we cannot gauge either Goku or Saitama's full potential as of yet, and can only now gauge them by what has been shown, then there we go. If Saitama displays his ability to destroy more than Goku I will change my thoughts on the match-up, no problem.
