A simple Boarbatsuk was quite a challenge for her and a pack of Beowolves forced her to retreat. Ruby would have killed them all in a second just like her trailer if Weiss didn't decided to retreat before any exits were blocked by the fire. So yeah, all she did during Players and pieces was freezing the enemies and giving support while the rest of the team killed it, not really something like a boss.

Besides, Pyrrha is know as the invincible woman and is a top ranked student. Yang has the record of most fights fought and won so far.

Bear in mind that being invincible is not the same as being strong. It just means she can't be killed or hurt, at least not easily (given the likely connection to Achilles). As for Weiss, you should not take her situation with the Beowolves as a sign of weakness. She is the calm deliberative type who is less likely to pursue an unnecessary engagement. After all, her idea was that they not fight and just head back to Beacon. The Boarbatusk was more a matter of the circumstances. I also would suggest that Weiss is less experienced despite her training. Pyrrah is probably not particularly experienced in actual combat herself, but she is well-trained and has been in a lot of competitions.
