While you could, everything done on the iPhone with the old Apple ID will be locked to that Apple ID. All downloads and purchases are locked to that old Apple ID. Anytime that something needs to be updated, it is going to ask for that Apple ID and password. If you cannot remember it now, it won't do any good to try and remember it later.
