Frank can take so much of a beating that I see him ripping Fisk's throat out or clawing his eyes to jelly before the big guy takes him down.
Even though I disagree with you about the outcome of this fight, I 100% agree with you about Franks damage soak; that man can withstand more punishment than Rocky Balboa...

Wasn't Frank massively weakened by a fight/beating not long before the scrap with Fisk?
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Frank had just recently fought and killed how many inmates just before his "fight" with Fisk, who was fresh as a daisy. Clearly that wasnt Frank fighting at full strength there.
This would be a good fight IMO. Fisk got the better of Frank in prison but, as people have mentioned, Punisher wasn't quite at 100%, and handicapped by the cuffs. That being said, Fisk did seem confident enough to believe he could handle Frank should they go for round two, when Fisk told his guys to uncuff him and back away from them. Also, he took a combo of hits that I think would have at least momentarily knocked Matt on his ass, and barely stumbled. He isn't some skilled martial artist, but he has enough brawling ability, coupled with his sheer size and strength, to make him a very dangerous opponent. That being said, Frank is one extremely tough bastard himself, a highly skilled fighter, and I honestly would not put it past him to tear someone's throat out with his teeth if necessary. In the end I probably give Punisher a slight majority.
Let's swap their places. Say Fisk got into a fight with multiple prisoners with weapons, gets stabbed in the arm, then gets beaten up by guards so badly that they need to drag him out. Then put him in handcuffs. You think he'd be able to put up much of a fight against a fully healthy Frank? Does he even survive the fight with the prisoners?
