The results of two relativistic models with different descriptions of the final-state interactions are compared with the MiniBooNE data of charged-current quasielastic cross sections. The relativistic mean field model uses the same potential for the bound and ejected nucleon wave functions. In the relativistic Green's function model, the final-state interactions are described in the inclusive scattering consistently with the exclusive scattering using the same complex optical potential. The relativistic Green's function results describe the experimental data for total cross sections without the need to modify the nucleon axial mass.
