The muscular Mike Williams dropped Tyson on his ass back in his "prime" according to Bill Cayton, so you could add him to the list.

Here's Cayton's quote and it was made in defense of the knockdown Tyson suffered against Page in sparring for the Douglas fight;

"Mike has been knocked down in training by Oliver McCall, he has been knocked down by Mike Williams. The knockdown doesn't mean anything." - Bill Cayton (quote taken from the Feb 6th, 1990, NY Times)

That story of him being knocked down by Williams (and McCall) was also confirmed in other sources like, for example, the June 2001 issue of Boxing Monthly.

it meant something that Tyson wasnt preparing for the fight as he should be

yes it only sparring but if you are near a fight and you knockdown couple of times in sparring that should be your wake-up call that there is something wrong. e****ally when you where strong and hard to get Knockdown

The McCall and Williams knockdowns happened in sparring sessions for fights previous to the Douglas fight, my friend, and in the case of McCall, that happened when Tyson was training for what some call the greatest night and peak performance of his career...the Michael Spinks fight.

Friday Ahunaya knocked him out in sparring, Tyson told reporters this himself and the interview can be seen on youtube.

He sparred with Glenn Mcrory in the late eighties and Lennox Lewis in 1984.
