Well, if it pertains to "skills in the movies", Will Turner most likely would win as the writers said during the CotBP audio commentary, and I (hopefully) quote:
 * In this movie, Will is the best swordfighter...

Now given the way they delivered that statement, they never said he was the "best swordfighter" period - only that he was the best in CotBP(note that he didn't lose a fight in the whole movie lol). As for DMC and AWE, well, that's just one's opinion. Me? I'd say he's the most experience, as he had the most swordfighting action in the trilogy.

However... if this is meant to be a "personal opinion"(which I somewhat assume it is), I'd say a number characters as it is a hard decision. From "most likely to win" to "most likely to lose"...
 * 1) Jack and Barbossa - They're both the ultimate survivors. Aside from his unorthodox habits, Jack is a decent battler(the only time Jack himself was doomed was because of Elizabeth handcuffing him; though that wasn't during battle lol). Barbossa is obviously a good fighter, except for when Jack shot him in CotBP(but then Barbossa didn't expect his curse to be lifted at the time). So that's why I think both would win in battle. FYI, the reason I put both names in was because of their fight with the Spanish(without a doubt one of my favorite scenes of the films)- along with Geoffrey Rush's quote in various interviews that if they worked together, they'd be "a formidable team".
 * 2) Angelica - She's a match for Jack, and did great swordfighting during her fight with Jack, the QAR mutiny(even though Jack's crew technically won), and the battle at the Fountain of Youth. I could see her almost winning a fight between this group of characters.
 * 3) James Norrington - Well, I originally wasn't going to put him on the list. But given that he kinda matched with Will Turner in DMC...he's in!

Elizabeth, I'm kinda iffy on if she'd win. Because while she was trained by Will in combat...she's not Will - 'nuff said. lol Now this message isn't really a way to go against Will, Elizabeth or Norrington(in case some took the "Norrington's in third" as offense). This is mainly of course me opinion.
