The book didn't necessarily state that Curley hated Lennie; however, as slim said in the beginning, Curley is like a "bunch of small people piled up". Since Lennie is known as the "big" (size) character in the story, Curley obviously wanted to beat him up.

One of the other reasons could also be his mental disorder (Lennie).
