Not only was Jesus the only one who fulfilled all the old testament prophecies, he also fulfilled all the new testament prophecies (to date) and he will return to take care of he rest.
While many have claimed to be the Messiah, they were all too little or too late.
A few guys managed to fulfill three or four old testament prophecies, out of around three hundred.
That's not quite good enough.
None of them ever managed to rise again from the dead by their own power, or found a successful, universal, and world wide religion in their name.
This must mean that what you think you know is wrong!

That's where you are wrong. Jesus is not the only one to say He is the Messiah, but He is the only one who fulfilled the prophecies.

In Jesus' time there was Apollonius of Tyana. His followers wrote how he performed miracles and came back from the dead.
You can pretty much make anybody a "messiah", especially after they're dead. The New Testament was written decades after Jesus died, if he existed at all. If you take any large book, especially one with vague prophecies, you could apply it to your own life or anybody's life to show how that person fulfilled the prophecies. This is especially easy after the person dies and if there is little else written about him.
Even Elvis has people writing about how he survived death, and that was only a few years after his death. And Elvis' life was much more documented than Jesus'.

God is just another fake creation by man.
Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.
Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.
Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.

I've been trying to fulfil the prophecies myself but I'm having problems getting the counterfeit Bethlehem birth certificate...

If you are referring to the Old Testament prophecies no one else fulfilled them as completely as He did.

Many. Not as many have come left so many followers, though. We won't know how many. The historical record is not very good.
