If Boromir had taken the ring he would have probably been able to overthrow Sauron and usurp his place, if at least for a little while. His reign might be okay for a few years but it just a matter of time. The ring would corrupt him but he wouldn't totally replacec Sauron like Gandalf, Galadriel, or Saruman would. He is a great and powerfull warrior but not that powerfull. As the years past the shadow os Sauron would come over his heart and he would fall totally under the sway of the dark lord. Bad news in the end.
