It seems to me that after Tolkien had just talked about the love the brothers had for one another and the lack of jealousy present between the two, that it only makes sense for Tolkien to be speaking about Boromir believing that nobody could rival his brother. The other meaning, although I can see how you get it, just doesn't fit for me, given because I've never thought it before and also given what Tolkien was just talking about prior to saying it.
