it's more of a matter of opinion, many things could affect a battle between a samurai and a knight, such as weather, terrain, etc...personally, i think that the samurai would be at an advantage in any scenario. The samurai is equipped with excellent, light armour and his sword, or katana, is much lighter, stronger and longer than the knight's. In the end, the samurai would be dancing circles around knight while the knight would be awkwardly swinging his longsword, trying to hit the samurai. The samurai is also trained in a way so that he is an unstoppable killing machine.
The Japanese Samurai armour was normally wood rather than metal, it was much lighter and a looser fit. Even when the samurai used metal (towards the end of the age of the samurai) armour it did not encase the samurai from head to foot and was far less heavy (and also less protective). Whereas the knight in Europe was more like a modern tank, barely able to walk in full armour and virtually impenetrable to all but crossbow bolts (and in certain circumstances the longbow) the samurai was still as nimble as his lesser adversary but also more protected. Though he was also more vulnerable. Needless to say, neither the heavy armour of the European knight, nor the lighter armour of the Japanese samurai was able to compete with the peasant armed with a gun, thus making these mighty warriors obsolete.
