Rank these guys in terms of ability to withstand punishment...
The goal of this thread is self explanatory; rank the following characters in terms of pure ability to withstand punishment (we are using the movie/TV show versions of the characters as stated here only)...
1) Rocky Balboa (from Rocky 4)...
2) The Punisher (from the Netflix Daredevil show)
3) Captain America (from the recent Marvel movies)...
4) Khan (from the most recent Star Trek movie)...
5) The Joker (from the animated Dark Knight Returns movie)...
Not so impressive HFs. Flesh wounds take nearly an hour to heal

Anyway, Vault's list is almost perfect, mine is the same with a bit of tweaking
1. MCU Cap (obviously)
2. Khan
3. Punisher/Balboa (Punisher has definitely walked away from horrendous damage to be sure, but he has never come up against anything close the ridiculous continuous blunt force punishment Balboa has tanked, like simply trading puncher with an enhanced fighter and winning, and the other fights, especially when out of his prime. So at the most I can see them as equals with Rocky being Frank's superior in the blunt force tanking department)
4. Joker - the best he's tanked few angry hits from Baleman which did not even make him bleed, and laughing off a nut shot from Rachel. he's got good pain tolerance for sure but he is waaaaay out of his league agaisnt these guys

I'd say tanking Fisk's ungloved hits while beaten and bruised already trumps Rocky taking a beating from a gloved Drago, as even though he killed Creed, gloves take away a huge amount of the power of your punches.
He didn't tank them as long as Rocky did for a dozen round. Not to mention, in Rocky 5 Tommy slammed rocky into a metal door hard enough to take it off its hinges.
Or lasting the totality of the rounds against Dixon at his age. Don't see Frank while in Rocky's conditioning doing that without dirty fighting
Not to mention this silly scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=940_EOYRyqU

Hard to say. Frank has some other ridiculous feats. Like getting kicked off the water tower and bouncing spine first off the roof of that metal shack, and popping right back up and into the fight. Or fighting Irish thugs while standing on a foot that just had a hole drilled in it. But a good example of how much he can take is the fact that they had to tranq him in the neck and shoot him with multiple tazers to ultimately bring him down.
