Given that you requested to be rebooked to BOS rather than arrive with a delay in JFK I think you have foregone any compensation for the delayed arrival; you proactively asked for a new ticket, and got it - presumably in J, so again there is no question of compensation for a downgrade either.
I would disagree with this. If the OP was denied boarding on a flight on which they held a confirmed booking, they are entitled to compensation. It might be liable to be reduced by 50% for arriving within 2 hours of the original plan, but the fact remains they were denied boarding.
