[The Princess Bride] How did Westley become a better swordfighter than Inigo?

Inigo had been raised by a master sword maker, then spent his entire life studying under various teachers, honing his skills, and questing for revenge. Westley was a farm boy five years ago, and I doubt that the instant he joined Roberts' crew he was immediately plunged into an intensive sword training course; he would have had to also spend some time gaining the trust of the crew, and then his time would also have been split between learning seamanship, being Roberts' valet, and building up an immunity to iocaine powder.

So how was Westley able to surpass Inigo?

Westley is basically a once-in-a-century prodigy-- a perfect physical specimen and a legendary genius with a titanium will and a vitally important (to him, at least) purpose. He wasn't necessarily better, but he was good enough and wanted to win more.
