This dialogue in the scene does indeed reference several notable swordsmen, but the script literally calls for the greatest swashbuckling Flynning* of all time. Here's the script, right before it gets to the I Am Not Left Handed** -
The two men are almost flying across the rocky terrain,
never losing balance, never coming close to stumbling; the
battle rages with incredible finesse, first one and then the
other gaining the advantage, and by now, it's clear that
this isn't just two athletes going at it, it's a lot more

in their prime, it's Burt Lancaster in "The Crimson Pirate"
battling Errol Flynn in "Robin Hood" and then, incredibly,
the action begins going even faster than before as we CUT TO:
The script even mentions at the start of the fight how they're not really engaged close enough to harm each other -
No, what we have here is two men, two athletes, and they
look to be too faraway to damage each other, but each time
one makes even the tiniest feint, the other counters, and
there is silence, and as they start to circle
*- Warning - TvTropes link, but to sum up, Flynning is entirely about making swordfighting look good as opposed to depicting actual swordfighting
