If they're equipped like your pic? ABSOLUTELY the man at arms 999/1000 times. Because of retarded modern movies and video games people don't realize how absurdly durable advanced plate armour was, you see people jamming swords through breastplates all the time on tv but that just would not happen, EVER.
>just use a mace or other blunt weapon bro
This is also a myth, or at the very least a tremendous exaggeration. Blunt weapons were often considered preferable but it was never remotely as simple as "just give them a good bonk on the head". They're wearing thick ass steel with thick padding underneath it, both specifically designed to protect against blunt trauma. You'd have to clobber the absolute shit out of them, and thats while they're moving around and fighting you while you try to line up your strikes. Plate armour fucking worked, it worked extremely well, the man at arms could absolutely go to town on the crusader without worry while the crusader would need extremely lucky and precise hits to do anything to him.
These guys do a pretty good job at showing what armoured combat was like, they beat the absolute shit out of each other and thats with modern reproduction armour thats significantly thinner and less padded than real advanced plate was.
