Yes, it was a mismatch. No, Everyone in London was not Hopeful... British Boxing fans were aware that he had no chance. Strange as it may sound, on top of that "London took a dive". No, not at the behest of Ali's camp or "Gangsters". There was no reason for them to get involved. In London's own words and I'm paraphraising : He knew he couldn't beat Ali, the fight was simply for the payday. He said he was not going to get all banged up for nothing but was resigned that at the first hard punch or knockdown he was not going to get up, When one looks at the valiant effort he put up against Patterson and his near ko of Ingo, you can see he made no effort in this fight. I believe him because rarely does a fighter ever admit this.
