I have to agree with the majority here that the matchup is too imprecise to call. If we are talking fully equipped from each appropriate time period, remember that a Knight was equipped to fight on horseback, therefore a horse would be considered part of his standard equipment. Full plate armor was not designed to be worn on foot. The mideval footsoldier is in a different class, wearing different armor. (then we have to decide from when, as the ability to extrude metal into wire, to make a chain type armor didn't appear in europe until later) (pardon my use of the vague date)
So if we drop the standard equipment stipulation it all comes down to the man. Its a test of individual.
Unless it was Miyamoto Musashi. He would wipe the floor with any old knight.
