I've never seen this ficus trained as bonsai. Even if you could reduce leaf by 70%, it's still too big. There are better varieties of ficus to work with.

Well if your 'finished' bonsai, after years of training and shaping, is 3' tall and 2' wide, leaf sizes become a bit more proportional in relation to the size of the tree.
