floyd landed punches at a ridiculously high percentage.
no matter how weak the puncher or how good the chin if you get hit enough times eventually those punches add up and can lead to a knockdown or knockout.
even the featherfisted malignaggi was able to get a quick knockdown of ndou in their fight (it wasnt nothing spectacular but paulie kept landing punches and landing punches) and once ndou jumped forward paulie was swinging with a right cross to the double force of impact made up for paulie's lack of power...thats very similar to what happened to hatton...hatton jumped RIGHT INTO that check hook.
same goes for katsidis v. casamayor (not saying casamayor is feather fisted) but katsidis jumped right into that shot from casamayor that put him down and eventually led up to the knockout win for casamayor.
and as far as that check hook from mayweather goes (not taking credit away from mayweather...i think hatton would have still fell) but the ring post gave a little assistance to be completely honest and fair.
High percentage but actually not that many since PBF was rationing his punches for the most part. Hatton actually should've been abe to take PBF's power better at WW than jrWW because while neither is considered a natural WW Hatton is much more of a WW than PBF.
Hatton's fight weight for the Tzu fight was 150lbs and that fight was a jrWW fight.
PBF's fight weight for DLH was 148lbs and that was a jrMW fight.
Also consider that PBF landed WAY more punches on a severely diminished (but not yet shot) Gatti and Gatti never legitimately went down. You can't tell me PBF landed cleaner and more punches on Hatton than he did on Gatti.
Hattons chin is average, it isn't a liability but it isn't an asset to him the way Margarito's, Mayorga's or Baldomir's chins were to them.

erm how did mayweather score a high percentage of punches on hatton? mayweather hit hatton about 6/7/8 times average each round. basically the whole of your post you just write was crack. The highest times he hit him was 15 in round 9 or 10. Hatton for the record was hitting mayweather around the same times. Both landed 30+~ punches each round.
I think his chin is great to be honest, I just think he gets reckless and gets hit too much even by average boxers, And they all takes there toll in the end.
When you get hit too much too often then you are bound to go down once in a while.
Hatton has a good chin at 140...Anybody who takes flush straight right hands from Kostya Tszyu without going down has a good chin.
Hatton's chin seems to be average at 147...Collazo exposed Hatton at 147, he hurt Hatton badly and had him out on his feet in the last round....Mayweather finished Hatton's days at 147, knocking Hatton out in embarrasing fashion and sending him back to 140 where he belongs.
The Magee knockdown was more a flash knockdown, he wasn't very hurt by it. I forgot about the Tackie and Phillips ones, I still think his chin is above average at 140 though.
Yeah, it was kind of a flash knockdown. But he was definitely hurt in the 2nd round. I remember in an interview after the fight, he said he was in a daze.
Vince Phillips buckled his legs with a right hand and an uppercut. Eamon Magee dropped him in round 1, hurt him with a right hook in round 2, and I think he may have stunned him in the 12th.
Ben Tackie had him out on his feet in the last round, and in one of his early early fights (against a black journeyman guy) he looked a little disorientated before regaining his disposition.

Average. His style is reckless aggression, so anyone who lands on his chin is landing on a guy who's literally running into the punch. That makes the impact worse, so no he ain't got a glass jaw but he's been hurt by guys who weren't big bangers at 140 and 147, which means he ain't as tough as some think.

Forgot about that. Tackie had him holding on after a right hand in the final 30 seconds of round 12.

i think it's v solid. Of course he did get ko'd by a fighter not considered a powerful puncher. This was more due to the sheer number of direct shots taken in the 8th, 9th and 10th rounds. Would not be interested in watching a rematch personally.
