Accept that the production staff including the writers of said character said ( in the audio commentary ) of the main characters Sparrow is the least skilled/worst sword fighter. He tends to win through running away, negotiation, or some other form of trickery that the truely skilled ( in terms of pure sword fighting ) duellist, like Norrington, Barbossa, and Turner don't see coming.

As you said Jack is cunning and against gentlemen like Turner and Norrington its serves him well, but Zorro has displayed a similiar ability to think on his feet and use his surrounding.
