His chin wasn't the problem it was his stamina thats why he lost against Thompson. Because he used up too much energy trying to finish Thompson in the early going.

And that was only his 11th fight. He bit off more than he could chew as he was still vastly inexperienced.
The loss was a good learning curve for Haye and like you say it was down to him punching himself out.
