Colleague talks way more than actually contribute

My team just finished a big project, and one of my colleagues contributed maybe 10% of the actual work. Yet, when we presented to our boss, he acted like he carried the entire project. He was bragging, taking credit for ideas he barely touched, and making it seem like the rest of us did the heavy lifting while he was the star.

It’s not just annoying—it’s unfair. Everyone else worked hard, and now the perception could be skewed because he’s loud and self-promoting. I don’t want to seem petty, but I also don’t want our boss to get the wrong impression about who actually did the work.

How do I handle this without creating tension but still making sure credit goes where it’s due?
