I like Johnny Depp and all, but it's obvious that if it were a fight to the death, he'd eventually lose. Hell, I'd argue Barbossa is the better "sword fighter".
Good Lord. People are going to make me hate Johnny Depp with the constant praising. Sorry, guys. In a sheer lightsaber fight, Will, Norrington, and Barbossa would defeat him. He's a hell of a sword fighter, but not the best.

Will completley kicks Jacks ass at sword fighting im sorry lol but its true..I wish Jack could whoop him but PotC1 and PotC2" shows us that he can fight better than Jack with a sword..He would have beaten him in the first one had Jack not cheated.
His sword got knocked out of his hand in the latest one whilst up on the church roof.

Barbossa is the best imo. He arguably has more experince than any of them and we could see he had the upper hand against Jack in POTC1. Also if he was to fight against Norrington and Will he wouldnt be limited to the rules - he would be more than happy to cheat whereas the others would not. This in itself gives him a significant advantage.
However I havent heard the commentary so my opinion is a bit biased. Whatever the commentary says is canon so there is no point in arguing with it.
she's getting more and more like Jack
He'd win an all out fight to the death he could've died in Dead man's chest if not for him turning Norrington on Will. But by swordsmanship he loses. Barbossa I don't think was at all worried about Jack since he knew he couldn't die which is why he kind of just stopped fighting at one point but then a little bit later he was looking like he had to take a breather so his fighting style was kind of hard to read to me anyway

Barbossa gained his skill from fighting in actually fights. And who knows how often Barbossa actually fought. Will on the other trained with many different swords for three hours a day.
I wouln'd put Barbossa on Will's level or Norrington's but he is without a doubt better then Jack. After all the screenwriters themselves said Will was the best.
