It's just too much of a time gap between the two warriors for it to be considered fair. A Spartan ca. 480 BC, Battle of Thermopylae vs. a Templar Knight ca. 1200-ish, the middle of the existence of the order, boasts a 720-year gap. That's like a Norman soldier who fought at Hastings in 1066 fighting a British redcoat of the 1780s.
