I'm not sure of that, if he lost the muscle mass he'd have a chance. He was basically fat at 185 (he got wide, but clearly deliberate as it was the only way he could bulk to 185)
Obviously 170 is his natural weight class but he might be able to cut the weight. I mean, Max Holloway is taller than he is. Granted GSP has a much bigger frame he'd need to take a lot of time to lose some muscle mass then make a huge cut, but I mean Rumble made 170 once upon a time.
There's a good chance the GSP we'd get at 155 would be depleted cardio wise and have less power and explosiveness though. I'd back the GSP of 5 years ago to win the WW title today but I don't think current GSP will ever hold a belt again and he wouldn't have got the MW one without Bisping being the champ (as much as I like Bisping and think his win over Rockhold was legitimate, I don't think GSP beats Romero or Whittaker and I think he's a dog to a couple other MWs probably including Rockhold, Weidman and Jacare)
