I see I should have said which mans action, in this case is greater:

Well.... Man A. I don't really see why there would be a question....
Well, ok. Lemme clarify. If by "greater" you mean "more righteous", then it would depend on what Man B was doing other than getting food for his family. There would, at times, be activities that are more worthy than food.
Matthew 6:33 says:
But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

No man is great. All men have iniquity in them and are unworthy of being called great. No single deed would make one man greater than another. Solomon was the smartest man ever created and did many great things including building the first Temple to the one and true God. He also built temples to false gods and goddesses just to get laid.
Peter who Christ loved enough to trust him with building His church denied him three times the very morning after his arrest.
Thank God that greatness is not expected of us. God is great and that is all, we are merely forgiven.
