Haye has plenty of substance though?
Haye's weakness is that he is in a division of giants because he the cruiserweight division is pointless, so he stepped up to a division where he's dwarfed by the Klitschko's, who are not only massive, but are perfectly fine with jabbing fights out to the final bell, which give a guy like Haye not much chance to land his big punches.

was it a lucky shot or does Khan lack self control in the sense of protecting himself. i understand he was on the front foot and all but be a little more cautious ?

Khan has always lacked self control. His response to getting hurt is to swing for the fences, and he always leaves himself open.
He doesn't have a boxing brain, he doesn't know when he should just stay out of range or hug up. He could have survived and possibly won that fight if he just hugged out the 4th round. Instead he tried to trade blows when he'd lost his legs so had no power in his punches. It's a mistake you'd expect at amateurs, not from someone who's talked themselves up as a Mayweather opponent.
Going in to that fight everyone knew Garcia had one punch, yet Khan still got his with it. It was a poor performance. He saw he hurt him in the first 2 rounds, and then went looking for a knock out leaving himself way too open to the guys only real punch.
