Curley is evaluating whether he is capable of beating George in a fight.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Curley is known to be a strong man and he likes that reputation.

This is because he is a man of short stature and wants to compensate for this characteristic by being strong and good at fighting.
However, George's arrival at the farm has prejudiced his reputation.
That's because George is so tall and so much stronger than Curley.

Curley doesn't like this and wants to beat George in a fight, for that reason, he keeps evaluating Gorge's physical stature to identify if he is capable of beating him.
