If so, what one(s)? And if no, wouldn't that make him a true prophet of God?

The age of Aisha at marriage is an unsettled issue, and the subject of increasing attention in recent years because critics of Muhammad accept the majority tradition that she was as young as nine years old when her marriage was consummated believe this reflects negatively on his character. There are several hadiths (said to have been narrated by Aisha herself) which state she was six or seven years old when betrothed and nine years old when married or when the marriage was consummated [1]. Other traditional material (hadith, sira, etc.) suggests that Aisha may have been anywhere from twelve to nineteen years old when she married.[citation needed] This is discussed in more detail in the main article on the marriage-age controversy.
A significant majority of Muslims respect the authority of the hadith, the source of much Islamic law (sharia) and therefore accept the hadith collected by Bukhari which quote Aisha as saying that she was nine years old when her marriage was consummated. However, they believe Aisha had already undergone puberty before the marriage was consumated, arguing that early marriages were not abnormal until relatively recent times,[1] but the standard practice was to wait until the bride had become adolescent before consummating the marriage.[2]
•Ibnul Qayyim mentioned the great Aayahs in the Quran (Sura 69):
44 - And if he (Muhammad, PBUH) were to invent any saying in Our name,
45 - We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
46 - And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
47 - Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our reach).
Ibnul Qayyim said, based on these Aayahs (and we second him):
If you accuse Muhammad (PBUH) of being a liar, you are bound by one of the following:
oYou absolutely do not believe that God exists (to answer such "lies" and "challenges" by this "imposter").
oOr you believe that God exists, but you believe he is totally impotent: He hears such challenges (and promises) BUT CAN DO NOTHING about them. He sits and watches while the promises of the "imposter" come true, driven by a force stronger than His own.
oOr you believe that God exists, and you believe that He is Most-Powerful, but you believe that He is a silly God ("sakheef": unwise and unjust), who misleads people to the utmost, by "swallowing" the challenges of "imposters" while He can actually stop them. Not only that, He also executes all their promises for them (starting by crushing his "chosen" children across the centuries, just as predicted by those "imposters").

The trick with prophecy is to make it nonspecific and sufficently vague that it can be misinterpreted and reinterpreted to prevent its falsification. If we reverse your question and ask, "What prophecies of Mohamed have been proven true?" I am quite sure we could get arguments all over the board whether it was a true prophecy or you have just interpreted it to relate to something it doesn't necessarily apply to. Look at all the fun folks have had with Michel de Nostradamus' quatrains and St. John's apocalypse. For hundreds of years they have been interpreted and reinterpreted to mean various things that have proven bad interpretations. The challenge would be to put forth a definitive prophecy that could not be interpreted in any other way. But we never see such a prophecy giving time, place, date, specific names of those involved. For example Moslems claim that when Jesus spoke of the parakletos he was speaking of Mohamed. SO why didn't Jesus given the date and location of Mohamed's coming and his name? That would be unequivocal. As it is, any religion that wants to can make the same claim their leader is the parakletos. Bluntly, the notion of future predicting is all nonsense. It's never been done and never will be done.

According to the Bible, it only takes one false prophecy to make someone a false prophet. I have two right here from the Hadith.
***
Book 37, Number 4282:
Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The greatest war, the conquest of Constantinople and the coming forth of the Dajjal (Antichrist) will take place within a period of seven months.
Book 041, Number 7050:
'A'isha reported that when the desert Arabs came to Allable Messenger (may peace be upon him) they asked about the Last Hour as to when that would come. And he looked towards the youngest amongst them and said: If he lives he would not grow very old that he would find your Last Hour coming to you the would see you dying).
***
Welp... Constantinople is now Istanbul... the Muslims conquered it. The great war/Armageddon has not come, nor has the Dajjal/Antichrist. Not seven months later, not seven years later, not seven hundred years later.
And the youngest of those people who gathered around Muhammed got to everyone else grow old and die... and then that young'un died too... and his kids... and their kids... and so on ad nauseum for 1400 years, give or take. No Last Hour, no nothing. Everything has continued on as is.
Either the Hadith are false and all of them need to be rejected as lies, or Muhammed is false (thereby making the Koran and Hadith false, as they were supposedly given to him by Gabriel).
One thing of interest...
"...He [Gabriel] took hold of him [Muhammed] and lay him prostrate on the ground and tore open his breast and took out the heart from it and then extracted a blood-clot out of it and said: That was the part of Satan in thee..." - 001, 311 (Sahih Muslim)
Name for me one other Judeo-Christian recognized prophet that was demon possessed, or had a portion of Satan within them?

Never a Single False Prophecy. All came to be true. if anyone is so confident, then i dare him to name one. And Prophet Mohammad (May Peace and Blessings of ALLAH Be Upon Him) is a True Prophet of GOD, and He doesn't need any evidences to Prove it, But even all evidences and proofs are Present.
Peace to All.

He was a false prophet. No matter what the towel heads say, the guy was a nut case. This is the guy whom is the root of all evil on earth today. His writings are misconstrued today and have been since the writings were considered "holy". There is only one God, and he doesn't want us to kill one another.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prophecy is Qur'an and I believe that there no such thing as lie in the book. You have the right to make your own decision nobody is forcing you to accept him as Prophet.

he didn't say anything false and if he did he wouldn't be a prophet no one can attack anyone without knowing him without learning about him he told us about a lot of things will happen for example he told us about the war in Iraq and he told us about things didn't happen yet but am sure it will happen sooner or later

Muhammed (PBUH) was born at Mecca in AD 570. Having lost his father before his birth and his mother at the age of seven, he grew up as an orphan. Despite the immoral circumstances prevailing in the Arabia of his time, Muhammed was particularly well known for his personality radiating honesty, nobility, sincerity, generosity and trustworthiness. Mohammed (PBUH), at the age of twenty five married Khadeeja, a forty year old trader. He started receiving divine revelations at the age of forty. Being chosen as a prophet, he preached the divine messages to the people of Mecca. Their response however was bitter, arrogant and violent. Beaten up, tortured, and threatened with death, he fled his motherland to Yathrib (Medin) a city in the northern side of Arabia. Consequently a Muslim nation was formed in Madina and its leadership was taken up by him. Battle after battle had to be fought while in Madina when unbelievers attacked the Muslims seeking to destroy the religion of truth. In fact, they were battles fought for freedom to practice religion. The most amazing success of the Prophet’s life is the tremendous success which he achieved in transforming the life of his followers in all aspects. In a span of just 23 years, he raised them from the depth of degradation to great moral and spiritual heights so as to make them a model for future generations. He passed away at the age of 63 in Medina, having lived a most fruitful life.

All of his prophecies are false because he was a murdering pedophile who said he could not perform miracles. Then later said he cut the moon with his sword. What kind of crap is that? Either you can or you can't. And why is it he could only see visions when he was sleeping with his 9 year old child bride?
