BOILING any cut of meat in liquid will probably make it TOUGHER, not more tender.
With cuts of pork like the loin, pork chops and the like, those that don't have a lot of fat and connective tissue, the best and easiest way to get them more tender is to sprinkle a little salt on them or soak them in salted water the day before you cook them. (The former is a dry "brine", the latter is called "brining"). The salt will not only flavor the meat, making it taste better, but the salt breaks down some of the protein strands in the meat, and the shorter the protein strands, the more tender the meat.
For more tough cuts of pork, like pork butt, you never want to boil it, you want to cook it low and slow, and let the connective tissue break down that way. I made carnitas last night as a matter of fact, and it involved cutting the pork butt into pieces, and SIMMERING it for a long time until the pork was falling apart on its own. You then can shred it easily with a fork, its tender and soft, very nice, and then put the shredded pork in a frying pan for a very short period of time to get a little browning on one side.
