It is clear to me that Boromir was influenced by the ring. He may have only seen it once, but the ring was drawn to those with power, and Boromir did not have the "will" to resist that Aragorn, Gandalf, et al possessed. Whether this was due to his ignorance, which seems wholly debatable, or his PRIDE, which seems far more likely, it is clear that proximity worked on Boromir.
