Let's see shall we

Initial Weapon

It's a pretty obvious win for the Targe & Longsword. The Truncheon is supposed to be non-lethal against unarmoured civilians and will have no effect on Bors' full plate armour and William would be wise to abandon it as soon as he sees his opponent. That being said though the Longsword will still have trouble getting through Williams armour especially because using it conjunction with the Targe resricts it to mostly slashes which will do very little against plate and mail armour. The Targe could still be used as a defensive tool however and Sir Bors can always make use of that spike to punch through the armour although that is admittedly going to be pretty hard to pull off. Even with his weapons shortcomings they're still much better than the Truncheon.

Edge: Sir Bors of Newcastle 

Mid Range 

William brings his own longsword to the fight and it's his best hope of actually managing to slay his opponent. However as mentioned by EA below Sir Bors has his own Longsword and Williams heavy armour will put him at an instant disadvantage in a sword fight. The Halberd is a heavy and unwieldy weapon but William himself is pretty heavy and unwieldy himself and it's many options to use with it's axe, spear and spike head which Sir Bors can use to great effect. The Halberd is also Sir Bors best bet for getting through Williams armour due to the power that can be generated behind each blow or at the very least it will knock him flat on his back and at Sir Bors' mercy.
