Not even close to true. The Higgs boson has a mass ~133 times that of a proton

The rest of it has a different origin.”
The quarks in protons are very light, accounting for only about 1% of the proton’s overall mass. The plausible—yet still unproven—theoretical explanation for this discrepancy is related to how quarks move through the vacuum.
