That doesn't make any sense.
Rankings are determined by accomplishments, not by 'who would beat who'. Boetsch has better wins than Philippou which is why he's ranked higher, even if Philippou might be the better fighter.

Not given the discrepancy in their ranking. I believe the OP is basically saying that despite the large gap between their respective rankings, the betting odds show an entirely different story.
I suppose we could he is "contextually" overrated.

Well, I understand well how rankings work.
For exactly that reason many times they are a bad predictor of who is a better fighter.
Tons of people around here boast Boetsch as an awesome fighter using his #5 ranking. That by far does not mean that he is among the top 5 fighters in MW.
