Actually, I think that Faramir was more alike to Denethor than Boromir was. Boromir was, first and foremost, a warrior. Denethor was not. Denethor and Faramir are very similar - the only major difference being that Denethor fell victim to pride and despair, whereas Faramir did not. Both were like the Numenoreans of old; Boromir, it is said, was more like the men of Rohan - a warrior, but not a leader except in battle. Faramir and Denethor were both shrewd and were both good judges of men's thoughts. That is why it was such a tragedy when Denethor fell - he could have been a great leader in the War of the Ring.
