Bull. Your "canon" source is a graphic in a video game. My source is the opinion of the writers/creators of the character, who had fights choreographed to match. With out trickery both Turner and Barbossa had Sparrow on the ropes.

So I've got the proverbial word of god and the fights themselves. Backing my claim. You on the other hand have throw away graphic from tie in merchandise. So yeah i'm gonna stick with original interpertation.

An interpertation which by the way doesn't negate the idea that Sparrow is not a skilled swordsmen and by conventional standards he obviously is. Just in the context of is own universe and this case Zorro's he is not the best and that he has developed a syle of combat based on deception, negotiation, trickery etc ( whitch you yourself have noted ) that wont serve him near as well against Zorro as it did against his opponent in his home universe. As Zorro is used to ruthless advisaries with out concern for codes of honor and is not adverse to deceptive tactics himself.

As for the Pirate wiki it was mentioned cause you wanted online source and thats the closest you gonna get, again if its not enough. I'd suggested watching the movie with commentary on.
