Then the next day when they're all celebrating, maybe have Rocky collapse and be rushed to the hospital, or have Adonis get called on the phone that Rocky was taken there form his home after having an episode. Then have Adonis come and visit him, where they have a final moment together. Then finally have Rocky die after another chemo operation. The movie could have ended with Adonis going up the steps (by himself this time) and looking out over the city, then have Rocky appear beside him and say the "You can see your whole life from here" line and fade to black. That way the movie's final moments take on a whole new (more poetic) meaning.

I think that's how they should end the final film. I think killing him in the last sequel works because then we truly know that the Rocky series has come to an end. And maybe have Adonis going up the steps with his own protege, maybe a girl this time, and they watch the city together before Adonis sees Rocky's ghost.
