Well, someone's ignorant. Check Matthew 1:5. You'll find old Booz there in the geneology leading to Jesus.
It's always good to check before writing.
Oh, really. In the book of Ruth which is the author's reference the name in the KJV as well as other popular translations is always rendered Boaz. Only in Mt and Lu is the Gr name Boes or Boos translated Booz in a few renderings of the KJV. But Booz sounds so much more clever.

See, the thing is that I know that, already. It's one of those funny little things about the KJV. Those old Elizabethans just couldn't keep their names straight.
I've seen the Booz error, or mistransliteration, in every copy of the KJV I've owned. It's just an amusing thing...not even an error. Just a mistyping. It does make you wonder a bit how many more little "goofs" there are in the KJV.
I don't make many mistakes in referencing Matthew. I once had it, and the other three Gospels commited to memory. I can't recite them any more, but I can tell you chapter and verse for any KJV quote from them. How's that for a useless skill?
