Conflating specific multiverse hypotheses with the broader, and vaguer, claim that "there might be a multiverse" is fairly preposterous. One might as well complain that Gravity is an unfalsifiable hypothesis.
He makes this point clear with the recent discovery of gravitational waves (which since has been rejected):
So the inflation / multiverse theory predicts these left over gravitational waves from the early expansion of the universe. But they also say, that the theory would be valid with out them - why? Because there are literally an infinite number of possible universes with different properties. No observable evidence could ever falsify the theory. That Boxing is not merely about one experiment going bad - that is a fundamental flaw.
