Theres no doubt in my mind that the samurai would win both on one -to-one and battle formations.
1.the samruia as you must all know are taken at birth and placed by there sword wich will be with them the day that they die (a familiar thing to me is that it reminds me of U.S. Marines )anyway after that they are put in to a rigid and vigirous training the majority of it one-to-one combat also of the samurai code:Bushido
2.The spartans being born and raised to be the perfect killing machine were given bronze armor of course someone mentioned this earlier but the samruais didn't always use Steel or iron they mainly used leather as it was flexible and light plus if they were using Steel armor how the hell would they use their bows.
3.The spartans formation has flaws the enemy could sorruond them or go behind them while another force is in front of them if they tried to move there formation it would possibly break up.Or the enemy could sorruond them and they being pressed on all sides would no doubt get in a circular formation thus having the enemy archers excellent targets maybe they would put there
shield up above there heads the ones behind the front ranks and probaly tire out also as there front ranks start dwindling the ones in the back are exposed for some brief time thus exposed to both elements and if that person where to get killed in that breif time the one behind him also might be killed thus have a gap in the Formation.
4.also i was watching a show called mansers and they had a kantana go againt a .45 and the sword spilt the bullet in half also i was watching the history channel and they had this famous long ago samurai he got his bow and sunk an entire ship with one arrow also as they where coming for him he was the first to commit seppuku or something like that.
5.seems to me like we got ourselves two Light weight boxers
